Executive summary
Ban on smoking in public places on its way
The Ministry of Health finally prepared the draft of a new amendment to the existing tobacco law in January 2007, which was originally promised in summer 2006. If the first amendment in 2003 was more oriented towards advertising and tar levels, the new amendment is focused on protecting workers in all public places from the effects of passive smoking. Although the tobacco and foodservice industries supported the amended law in the media, the foodservice channel is afraid of losing profit due to lower numbers of customers in restaurants, pubs and cafés.
Decreasing smoking rates
The new amendment is just one way to try and influence smoking rates in Slovenia. International and domestic organisations, in cooperation with government programmes, are trying to decrease smoking rates. Pfizer launched a new product under the Nicorette brand name. Despite all these efforts, the smoking rate in Slovenia stayed at the same level in 2006 and cigarette consumption declined only very slightly.
Number of female smokers is growing
More and more Slovenian women are smoking. In 2006 over half of the smoking population was accounted for by women and this trend is expected to continue in the future. Experts believe that one reason for this lies in the early age at which Slovenian teenage girls start smoking. For tobacco companies, women will increasingly represent a segment with growing potential.
Cigarette prices continue to rise
According to certain research carried out in the European Union, high cigarette prices can have the strongest impact on declining smoking rates and consumption per smoker. Each year cigarettes pack prices are increased due to excise duties. Now, CINDI, the Institute for Health Protection and other organisations have suggested the ‘Tobacco Euro’, raising the price of each packet of cigarettes by EUR1.00, which would, if included in the new amendment to the Tobacco Act, increase prices on average by a third.
Points of sale awash with advertisements and wobblers
The Tobacco Act does not currently prohibit point-of-sale activities. The law which banned most methods of tobacco advertising took effect in 2003 and the 2006 amendment will not deregulate it. Consequently, following the 2003 law, subsequent years have witnessed increasing point-of-sale promotional activity. Kiosks, in particular, now look like one big cigarette brand advertisement, with posters all over, wobblers (stickers with company logos and messages) hanging from each corner and bright neon signs on the top of kiosks, all tempting smokers with special promotional deals such as buy two packets and get a cigarette lighter free.
