Analyst Opinion

Often considered reduced-risk products, e-cigarettes have made up one of the most rapidly growing segments of tobacco products in the last decade. The E-Cigarettes market in North America is facing volatility and uncertainty due to a scandal concerning the popularity of these products amongst adolescents in the U.S., whereas the European market remains stable. The penetration rates of e-cigarettes remain low in the African, Asian, and South American market.
