Sales of vaping and heated tobacco products are projected to expand significantly in the forecast period. As traditional cigarette sales decline, consumers are increasingly turning to these alternatives, which are perceived as less harmful.
The issue of Illicit trade will continue to threaten sales of cigarettes. Indigenous communities especially in Ontario are the main suppliers of these products and the Canadian government faces challenges to control production and distribution of these products outside the indigenous communities.
Government regulations and public health initiatives are expected to become more stringent, potentially leading to further declines in traditional cigarette sales. Measures like health warnings on each cigarette stick, higher taxes, stricter advertising restrictions, and more aggressive anti-smoking campaigns are likely to put even more pressure on cigarettes.

Cigarettes
RETAIL SALES OF DUTY PAID CIGARETTES The definition of cigarettes for the purposes of this study is duty-paid, machine manufactured white-stick products. This does not exclude brands of cigarettes that do not use white paper but it is designed to exclude the volume of non-machine manufactured products such as bidis/beedis (India) and papirosy (Russia), and other smoking products made with tobacco but that either do not resemble cigarettes as recognised in the US or Europe, or those that are not machine manufactured. The exclusion of these products is intended to give a more accurate picture of the "true" market for cigarettes and cigars which has been distorted in official statistics and published reports because of the inclusion of hybrid products. NB Please note that due to its central importance and integration into the industry mainstream, Indonesia’s market data does include hand-rolled kreteks DUTY-FREE sales are excluded from retail sales, as are herbal cigarettes. ILLICIT TRADE CIGARETTES Not included in retail sales, but split out separately in volume terms only. Defined as non-duty paid cigarettes (includes smuggled & counterfeit/fake products combined). Legitimate cross-border sales are considered duty-paid. Sales arising from a foreign national purchasing cheaper cigarettes in bulk in a neighbouring country for personal use and exported back are attributed to the country where the purchase is made (e.g. bulk cigarette sales by British nationals in France are attributed to France).
