New hookah tobacco packaging sizes — new presentation solutions

The tobacco market has just been made a new regu­la­tion. From 2023 there will no longer be large packa­ges of shisha tobacco available for purchase in free trade. The sales stan­dard will be 25g packs , which then corre­spond to the filling capa­city of a shisha bowl. In addi­tion, water pipe tobacco and ever­y­thing to do with e‑cigarettes and the like are (more) taxed and can ther­e­fore no longer be sold without the well-known tax stamp.

The new tobacco tax regulation from July 1, 2022 at a glance

Not only the tobacco tax will be gradu­ally increased, but also the maxi­mum amount of tobacco available. Because from July 1, 2022, the new tobacco tax regu­la­tion takes effect. Shisha tobacco may then only be sold in 25g packa­ges. For manu­fac­tu­r­ers, this means that in the near future it will no longer be possi­ble to produce 1kg buckets or 200g cans, only pack sizes of 25g will then be permit­ted. Howe­ver, there is a sell-off period until Decem­ber 31, 2022, for products manu­fac­tu­red before July 1, 2022.

Federal government bill

With the plan­ned tobacco tax reform, the fede­ral govern­ment wants to tax e‑cigarettes and tobacco heaters higher from this year on. Subs­tances contai­ning nico­tine for use in e‑cigarettes should in future be subject to tobacco tax instead of sales tax. An addi­tio­nal tax will be intro­du­ced for heated tobacco, so that in future it will be taxed like ciga­ret­tes. An annual tobacco tax increase is plan­ned for conven­tio­nal ciga­ret­tes and fine-cut ciga­ret­tes over a period of five years, start­ing in 2022.

New shisha packaging sizes have far-reaching consequences for trade and the environment

The consequences for the trade — tobacco shelves & product presentation

For the trade and special shisha shops it means that new sales displays and new shelf solu­ti­ons are needed. Due to the ban on adver­ti­sing in Germany, high visi­bi­lity and attrac­tive posi­tio­ning at the point of sale are essen­tial.

Eight times as much packaging waste at Shisha Tabak

The 25g regu­la­tion has its conse­quen­ces. For the envi­ron­ment, it means further expo­sure to even more pack­a­ging waste. In addi­tion, the shisha tobacco will also increase in price, because this pack­a­ging mate­rial is an addi­tio­nal cost in produc­tion. In produc­tion, entire produc­tion lines have to be rebuilt or built in order to produce the new pack­a­ging and fill the tobacco. In addi­tion, the trans­port costs also increase, as the 25g cans take up signi­fi­cantly more space than the previous 200g cans.
