Executive summary

New law regarding smoke free environments passed

In August 2007 a new law restricting smoking in bars, restaurants and cafés took effect in Denmark. The law was postponed slightly to give owners of establishments affected by the law time to rebuild so they can accommodate smokers in special smoking rooms that are separated from the rest of the establishment.

The new law was met by strong protests in Denmark but is supported by over 50% of the population. The law will lead to falling sales of tobacco in Denmark and especially a fall in cigarette sales. Since the law was passed courses to stop smoking and the telephone helpline have experienced massive interest from people who want to stop smoking.

Volume sales falling again

The Danish market for tobacco products is shrinking and value sales declined slightly in 2006. This is a return to the trend of falling value sales that began in 2003 but was interrupted in 2005 when volume sales grew in spite of the increased price on cigarettes. The most important product on the Danish tobacco market is cigarettes with a share of over 85% of total sales.

Increase in young smokers slowing down

The increase in young smokers since 2003, which was attributed to the falling price of cigarettes, seems to have stopped. The tax increase in 2005 made the average price of cigarettes go up and the highest increase was seen in economy cigarettes; the segment with the largest increase in young smokers. The trend is now going back to how it was before the tax cut in 2003.

Cross-border trade from Germany and Sweden increases

The increased taxes on cigarettes in Germany in 2005 and Sweden in 2006 has made cigarettes cheaper in Denmark than in the two neighbouring countries in spite of the Danish tax raise in 2005. Germans save DKr3.15 per pack of 20 cigarettes when they buy them in Denmark and Swedes save DKr3.40.

The Danish preferences: king size, mid-priced, mid-tar cigarettes

The average Danish cigarette smoker still prefers a king size/regular, mid-priced cigarette with standard filter and mid tar level, even if economy priced low tar cigarettes are becoming increasingly popular. The average cigarette has an American blend, comes in flip-top packaging and is manufactured by House of Prince.
