Regulatory report: Estonia, May 2020

The Estonian Tobacco Act does not currently mention heated tobacco products. These products are not banned, and authorities told TobaccoIntelligence that it is theoretically possible to sell them in Estonia as novel smoking tobacco products. However, the Amendment Act to the Tobacco Act and the Alcohol, Tobacco, Fuel and Electricity Excise Duty Act, which was passed on its third reading in early May, will provide some further clarity to regulating heated tobacco products in the country. This report offers a comprehensive analysis of the current laws and regulations, as well as those due to enter into force in the near future.
