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.
