Colombia: heated tobacco regulation, September 2023

Heated tobacco is subject to nearly all restrictions set out for traditional tobacco in Colombia.

Heating devices could be regulated as tobacco products. Herbal heated products are outside the tobacco framework, and this is not expected to change.

This report offers an analysis of the current regulatory framework in place for heated tobacco products in Colombia, covering all policy areas.
