South Korea: heated tobacco regulation, September 2022

Heated tobacco products are regulated like cigarettes and other traditional tobacco products in South Korea and are subject to several different taxes.

Tobacco products may be placed under even stricter control in South Korea before 2024, when the next parliamentary elections are due. There are currently more than 20 bills before parliament tackling tobacco as a broad category and while some are more or less similar, they all seek to further restrict the industry and to impose additional product requirements.

This report provides a comprehensive overview of all current and possible future regulation for heated tobacco products in South Korea, covering all policy areas.
