Description
Oral tobacco, including snus, is forbidden in Slovakia, except for chewing tobacco.
Nicotine pouches must be notified and are subject to labelling and retail restrictions.
Heated tobacco is largely regulated in Slovakia as a tobacco product, and a bill to introduce a flavour ban is being considered in the parliament. Herbal heated products are not specifically regulated.
Heated tobacco products are regulated by the Act on Production, Labelling and Sale of Tobacco and other related products of May 2015 (amended in 2019), which has transposed the TPD into the Slovak regime. This legislation takes a stringent approach to heated tobacco, making it equivalent to conventional tobacco products in respect to retail, advertising and public usage.
This two-report bundle provides details of the current regulatory framework in place for oral tobacco, nicotine pouches and heated tobacco in Slovakia, covering all policy areas from notification and taxation to advertising and labelling and packaging rules.
