Product Overview
The Policy Radar provides in-depth analyses of policies surrounding e-cigarettes, heated tobacco and nicotine pouches, as well as predictions of changes in major policy areas: advertising, promotion and sponsorship, taxation, sales channels limitations, product restrictions and market access.
Political climate summary
An overview of the general political stance each country currently holds towards novel tobacco products, summarised as positive, moderate or negative. A map is provided to visualise these political climates, and the summary table can be filtered by countries and regions.
Policy scorecard
In-house analysis of the major policy areas (advertising, promotion and sponsorship, taxation, sales channels limitations, product restrictions and market access) was used to score each country in each policy area, based on the stringency of legal frameworks for e-cigarettes, heated tobacco and nicotine pouches. The total current and future scores for each country can be visualised in the two maps, with scores shown as a percentage of the total possible score. (The higher the percentage, the more heavy restrictions are; the total possible score equates to a complete ban.)
Bills and policy
This filterable and easy-to-use table shows proposed bills and policies that may affect the novel tobacco industry in general; certain sectors of the industry; or specific product types (for example, nicotine-containing products only).
The impact these proposed measures would have on the sector has been assessed and the likelihood of them being implemented. The policy radar also provide key dates and links, enabling you to stay ahead of potential changes.
Election monitor
The election monitor tracks upcoming elections in each country that may impact regulation of the novel tobacco industry in general. As with the political climate summary, this analysis takes into account current governments’ views on novel tobacco regulations, the likelihood the government may change, the winning chances of parties in upcoming elections, and the impact that a new government could have on the industry.
Stakeholders
Here stakeholders are listed such as medical organisations, NGOs and agencies, providing insights into their positions on the sectors and the actions they are taking.
