Taiwan: heated tobacco and herbal heated product regulation, October 2024

In 2023, Taiwan implemented a comprehensive ban on herbal heated products, heated tobacco products (HTPs) and their devices or components.

The Ministry of Finance has confirmed that HTPs are classified as belonging to the “other tobacco products” category for tobacco tax purposes, which may indicate they could eventually pass the authority’s health risk asessment review. However, none have passed it yet.

This report offers a comprehensive overview of the current framework in place for heated tobacco and herbal heated products in Taiwan.
