Serbia: herbal heated tobacco, heated tobacco, oral tobacco and nicotine pouch regulation

Heated tobacco products (HTPs) are regulated in Serbia under the Tobacco Act in line with tobacco products, while herbal heated products are regulated as tobacco-related products. There are unlikely to be any significant changes to the regulatory framework for heated tobacco and herbal heated products in the short term, aside from the possible introduction of public usage restrictions. Long-term changes will likely come as a consequence of the ongoing review of the EU tobacco framework.

There are unlikely to be any changes in the regulatory framework for chewing tobacco and nicotine pouches in the short term, as both products is already specifically regulated. It is unlikely that oral tobacco will be legalised. Any longer term changes will likely come as a consequence of the ongoing review of the EU tobacco framework – the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) and the Tax Directive (TED) – in the next few years due to Serbia’s status as an EU candidate.
