The European Commission has presented a proposal for a recast of the Tobacco Taxation Directive (TTD), which would expand the scope of the directive to include e-cigarettes, heated tobacco products (HTPs) and nicotine pouches, all of which would be subject to minimum taxes. It would also more than double excise duties on traditional cigarettes. Most European Union member states have yet to issue official statements on the proposed TTD, but some have already pushed back.
Further, the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) might be adopted by early next year.
This summary of the main events in the TTD and TPD review process will be updated as further developments occur
