PROSPECTS

Cigar smoking is increasing in India, mainly driven by more accessible machine-manufactured cigars

Consumers in India are warming to cigars and cigarillos. The factors fuelling the growth are increasing disposable income, the emergence of clubs and lounges, retail stores focussing solely on selling these products, and the perception of the products as being an “old man’s smoke” no longer being relevant.

Three state governments ban hookah smoking

Gujarat in 2017 and Maharashtra and Punjab in 2018 have all banned hookah bars/parlours as well as prohibiting the serving of hookahs in any other establishments. The primary reason for the ban is to ensure that college students or teenagers, including minors, do not get access to tobacco and harmful chemicals that are not filtered out by water.
