7th March 2023
Estonia: The Ministry of Social Affairs has drawn up a bill to amend the Tobacco Act, introducting a definition for heated tobacco, equating heated tobacco use with smoking, and establishing a flavour ban and mandatory health warning for heated tobacco in line with the EU’s Commission Delegated Directive 2022/2100. The bill has not yet been introduced in Parliament.

- Estonia: Parliament's Social Committee will meet with industry members on 13th February to discuss the Tobacco Act Amendment Act 654 SE.

3rd February 2023
- Estonia: The Tax and Customs Board has told TobaccoIntelligence that the tax revenues for heated tobacco products amounted to €1,118,202 in 2021 and €1,600,839 in 2022, while those on nicotine pouches amounted to €3,507,59 in 2020, €5,705,786 in 2021 and €6,671,162 in 2022.

10th November 2022
Estonia: The Board of Health, the Ministry of Social Affairs and the World Health Organization (WHO) are among bodies that have submitted comments on the Tobacco Act Amendment Bill. The WHO and the Health Board do not support the bill, saying it would weaken the current regulatory framework. The Ministry of Social Affairs welcomes the regulation of nicotine pouches but suggests a broader regulation of non-tobacco nicotine products, and like the other two bodies rejects the proposals on distance selling and point-of-sale display. The first reading of the bill is scheduled for 15th November.

- Estonia: The Social Commission of the Parliament scheduled the first reading of the Tobacco Act Amendment Act 654 SE for the plenary session on 8th November.

10th March 2022
