Key topics to explore at our booth

We’re addressing the most critical questions shaping the future of the novel nicotine sector

Is synthetic nicotine the way of the future?

What is the current regulatory situation for alternative functional ingredients such as synthetic and analogue nicotine in different countries? Is this likely to change? To what extent are these products becoming an important part of the sector? What benefits do they offer?

Will the EU ban nicotine pouches?

Could the snus ban be followed by a prohibition on nicotine pouches that don’t contain tobacco? Could this be part of the next Tobacco Products Directive (TPD)? When might it come into force? Would it lead to an illicit market? What would consumers do if pouches were banned? What are the arguments in favour of and against such a ban?

Do herbal heated products have a future in Europe?

What is the significance of the tobacco majors developing their own products? Is there still room for independent players? Could the EU ban on heated tobacco flavours push consumers towards herbal heated products instead? What regulation of these new products is in place already, and what can we expect in the future?

What do consumers expect from their heated tobacco device?

Now that there are many competitors to the heated tobacco hardware marketed by the largest tobacco brands, what can we learn from the innovative features offered in competitor devices? To what extent will the tobacco brands follow these developments in their own devices, and how might they be held back by regulation or other considerations? Will product feature developments have a major impact on the heated tobacco market?

How will the next version of the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) affect your business in Europe?

What are the current political and regulatory debates around the TPD? What are the key areas where new regulation is likely? Is the overall shift likely to be negative, positive or neutral? Does the political composition of the new European Parliament make a difference? To what extent will any new TPD restrictions in the EU be copied and applied in other areas of the world? Will non-EU European countries like the UK continue to follow a TPD model?

How will EU environmental regulations impact your business next year?

Will new rules on important product elements such as single-use plastics, removable batteries and recyclable packaging affect your manufacturing processes? What implications will they have for business issues like pricing and marketing? Will polluter-pays obligations apply to your business? Will hardware recycling schemes get off the ground?
