COVID-19 impact on tobacco

In 2020, the tobacco market in Belgium was limited by the closure of borders and by travel restrictions following the outbreak of COVID-19. Border trade makes up a significant portion of tobacco sales in Belgium, depending on the category.

COVID-19 country impact

Regional restrictions on movement were introduced on 11 March 2020, with Wallonia-Belgium banning visits to nursing homes. On 13 March, the Wallonia-Brussels region closed all schools, except for those accommodating children of essential workers such as doctors and ministers.

Company response

The distribution of tobacco and vaping products was limited during the first lockdown: Belgium’s borders were closed, while non-grocery retailers closed including vape shops and cigar specialists, while small independent convenience stores shut at 22.00hrs.

Retailing shift

E-commerce sales of tobacco or e-vapour products are not allowed in Belgium. Nevertheless, during lockdown, a lot of e-smokers purchased online via non-European web shops.

What next for tobacco?

In Belgium smoking prevalence will continue to decrease while vaping prevalence will continue to increase, though this trend is unaffected by COVID-19. Social activities within the country are slowly recovering in 2021, allowing more opportunities for occasional smokers to consume tobacco products.
