Definition:

Smoking Tobacco includes loose tobacco that is used for rolling cigarettes (Roll-your-own cigarettes, RYO) as well as pipe tobacco. Smokeless tobacco (chewing tobacco, snuff, and similar products) is currently not included. Smoking Tobacco is especially popular in Europe where different taxation levels highly incentivize hand-rolling of Cigarettes. In contrast, in countries with a rather low-price level of filter Cigarettes, Smoking Tobacco's role is insignificant.

Additional information:

The market comprises revenue and average revenue per capita, volume and average volume per capita, price per unit, and sales channels. To give a better representation of per capita figures, the population considered is 15 years and above.

    Analyst Opinion

    Smoking Tobacco (including pipe tobacco but excluding smokeless tobacco) is mostly relevant in markets where taxation differentials induce consumers to substitute ready-made cigarettes with roll-your-own cigarettes. To make overall per-capita consumption more comparable, smoking tobacco is described in terms of grams here, with one gram of tobacco roughly equaling the content of one filter cigarette.
