Estonia: The government has introduced a bill to transpose Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2022/2100, adopting the directive’s exact definition of heated tobacco products (HTPs) and implementing a flavour ban. The bill does not currently define HTPs as either smoking or smokeless tobacco products. The Health Board told TobaccoIntelligence that criteria for determining a heated tobacco product category are currently being developed, which will make combined health warnings and information messages mandatory for HTPs classified as smoking products.
