クロアチアへ行ってきました！


The Republic of Croatia is situated in the Balkan peninsula of Eastern Europe. Its capital city is Zagreb. In 1991, it declared independence from Yugoslavia, and became a member of the EU in 2013. The country’s official language is Croatian, and its population is 4.28 million. Along with its neighboring countries, such as Slovenia and Montenegro, it forms part of the Adriatic coast. One of its picturesque towns, the famed Dubrovnik, is even nicknamed “The Pearl of the Adriatic Sea”. Recently, Dubrovnik has also become more widely known because it is one of the filming locations for the popular HBO series “Game of Thrones”.

There are about 11,000 tobacco retail locations in Croatia. Local manufacturers enjoy over 50% of the market share, while PMI, JTI and BAT compete for the rest. There are no tobacco vending machines - tobacco is only sold over-the-counter, and customers must be over 18. Hefty fines are imposed on stores that flout this law. Tobacco products are kept out of sight - under counters or behind cabinet doors.

	Croatia’s laws prohibit smoking in public places, as well as hotels, cafes and restaurants. However, smoking on open terraces, balconies and on the street is allowed. Since tobacco products cannot be displayed openly, it means that whenever new products are released, they must be introduced by the shop staff. The smoking rate has been on the decline and was around 28% in 2014. However, there is an upward trend in hand-rolled tobacco.

Marlboro is the most popular product, with an overwhelming majority of the market share. Local brands Ronhill and York are also very popular.
