This is because smokers are believed to smoke more intensely than machine smoking under the ISO regimen. Because there are no previous reports on the toxicological properties of MSS of Japanese cigarettes under the HCI condition, we determined nicotine and water contents by gas chromatography (GC-MS and GC/Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD)) for three product lots each of the ten bestselling brands of Japanese cigarettes following the WHO protocol.

  • JT Applies to Amend Retail Prices of Tobacco Products in Japan in Response to a Planned Excise Tax Increase
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tokyo, July 30, 2021 JT Applies to Amend Retail Prices of Tobacco Products in Japan in Response to a Planned Excise Tax Increase Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT) (TSE:2914) today announces that it has applied to the Ministry of Finance for approval* to amend the retail prices of its tobacco products in Japan in conjunction with the planned excise tax increase on October 1, 2021. The Company has applied for the retail price amendment for a total of 173 products, including 127 cigarette products, 18 cigarillo products, three pipe tobacco products, three cut tobacco products, 22 snuff tobacco products. The Japanese domestic tobacco market continues to experience decreasing sales volumes due to structural factors including the aging and declining adult population together with increasingly stringent smoking restrictions. As a result, the costs for maintaining the product quality and services are rising. Under these circumstances, while JT has been implementing cost optimization measures in line with a projected further decline of sales volume, it has become even more challenging to maintain the same quality and services that meet our consumer’s satisfaction. In this context, JT has applied to amend the retail prices of cigarettes, which exceeds the excise tax hike of cigarettes (1.0 yen per stick), revised tax structure for light weight cigarillos, while taking into account further increases in costs. JT has decided to amend the retail prices of its tobacco products, however such increase varies among different brands and products, to ensure that the quality of each product will be maintained and that consumer expectations continue to be met.

  • Analysis of a Tobacco Vector and Its Actions in China: the Activities of Japan Tobacco Peisen He1,2, Takeaki Takeuchi1*, Eiji Yano1
    He et al. Tobacco Induced Diseases 2010, 8:13 http://www.tobaccoinduceddiseases.com/content/8/1/13 REVIEW Open Access Analysis of a tobacco vector and its actions in China: the activities of Japan tobacco Peisen He1,2, Takeaki Takeuchi1*, Eiji Yano1 Abstract Japan Tobacco (JT) is the third largest tobacco company in the world, and China, the world’s largest tobacco consumer, is one of the most important targets for JT. To provide information for tobacco control, we reviewed and analyzed JT and its tactics and strategies in the Chinese market mainly by systematic examination of documents which are made available in the University of California, San Francisco Legacy Tobacco Documents Library. As a result, JT has had a special interest to expand sales of its cigarettes in the Chinese market. Introduction 25.7% of Japanese adults smoke [4]. Besides, the 1987 Smoking is a particular challenge for public health suspension of import tariffs on cigarettes led to rapidly because unlike many other pathogens, this leading cause increased competition in JT’s domestic tobacco market, of morbidity and mortality worldwide continues to be which decreased JT’s sales and market share.

  • Tobacco Industry Research Analysts COMMENT
    27 July 2016 Asia Pacific/Japan Equity Research Tobacco (Personal Products (Japan)) / MARKET WEIGHT Tobacco industry Research Analysts COMMENT Masashi Mori 81 3 4550 9695 [email protected] Examining the state of Japan’s “heat-not-burn cigarette” market ■ Two products in focus: In Japan’s cigarette market, much of the focus at present is on two type of “heat-not-burn cigarette.” One is iQOS, from Philip Morris International (PMI). This product has made strong gains in market share since going on sale nationwide this April. The other product is Ploom TECH, launched on a trial basis by Japan Tobacco (JT, 2914) in March. For now, iQOS is garnering much of the attention, having launched before Ploom TECH. That said, both products are gaining in popularity and are constantly in short supply. Recognition is growing rapidly for this new genre known as heat-not-burn cigarettes, and we expect market penetration to accelerate. While it is too early to forecast the future for these products, we think they have the potential to become game-changers. In this report, we outline the situation at present. ■ PMI’s 2Q results: Announced on 19 July US time, PMI’s 2Q results served to underscore iQOS' growing popularity. In Japan, iQOS (HeatSticks) reached a national share 2.2% (2.7% in the final week of June), up from 0.8% in 1Q. As positives, PMI noted that (1) the device is now cannibalizing about 35% of the company's cigarette portfolio in Japan, down from around 40% as of September 2015; and (2) many smokers are "up-trading" to iQOS from cheaper brands.

  • Contraband Tobacco on Post-Secondary Campuses in Ontario
    Contraband Tobacco on Post-Secondary Campuses in Ontario Meagan Barkans, BHSc Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts, Applied Health Science (Community Health) Supervisor: Kelli-an Lawrance, PhD Faculty of Applied Health Sciences, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario Meagan Barkans © August, 2010 Abstract In Ontario 27% of young adults smoke, and annual surveillance data suggests tobacco use is plateauing after years of decline. The availability of inexpensive contraband tobacco products maybe contributing to this situation. Limited research has been conducted on the use of contraband tobacco and despite the increasing availability of contraband 'Native cigarettes', no studies to date have examined their use among young adults. Accordingly, this study examines: (a) what proportion of cigarette butts discarded on post-secondary campuses are contraband; and (b) whether the proportion of contraband butts varies between colleges and universities, across seven geographical regions in the province and based on proximity First Nations reserves. In March and April 2009, discarded cigarette butts were collected from the grounds of 25 post-secondary institutions across Ontario. At each school, cigarette butts were collected on a single day from four locations. The collected cigarette butts were reliably sorted into five categories according to their filter­ tip logos: legal, contraband First NationslNative cigarettes, international and suspected counterfeit cigarettes, unidentifiable and unknown. Contraband use was apparent on all campuses, but varied considerably from school to school. Data suggest that contraband Native cigarettes account for as little as 1% to as much as 38 % of the total cigarette consumption at a particular school. The highest proportion of contraband was found on campuses in the Northern part of the province.
