About the Research Report:
The report titled “No Combustion, No Smoke – Exploring an Economic Perspective on Heat Not Burn Devices in the Indian Market” delves into the economic impact of Heat Not Burn (HNB) devices within India’s tobacco sector, emphasizing their potential to enhance export revenue and reduce health risks compared to traditional smoking. It advocates for regulatory reforms to enable the safe integration of HNB products into the market, addressing public health concerns and economic growth simultaneously. The report advocates for the regulation of HNB devices instead of an outright ban. This regulatory approach should include stringent measures to prevent youth access and counter deceptive marketing practices. By aligning with international standards and focusing on harm reduction, India can potentially stimulate economic growth while safeguarding public health.
