Current UK national regulatory framework
The Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 introduced a special category of tobacco – novel tobacco product, which is defined as a product supplied after May 2014, different from tobacco, cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, hand rolled tobacco, pipe or waterpipe tobacco, chewing, nasal or oral tobacco. The Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) further divides all tobacco products into two further large groups: “tobacco product for smoking” or “smokeless tobacco product”; our analysis found that heated tobacco is generally considered as a novel smokeless tobacco product.
