Why Retailers Should Include Heat-Not-Burn Tobacco Products in Their Inventory
This article highlights the rising popularity of heat-not-burn (HNB) tobacco products as a reduced-risk alternative to traditional cigarettes and e-cigarettes. These products heat, rather than burn, tobacco to release nicotine aerosols with fewer toxic chemicals. By adding HNB products to their inventory, retailers can tap into growing demand, increase profit margins, and offer innovative products. Key benefits include meeting consumer demand for reduced-risk options, expanding product variety, and reducing regulatory risks. Educating customers through informational sheets, in-store demos, and clear comparisons with e-cigarettes helps them make informed decisions. While health benefits and risks are still under debate, HNB products are poised to redefine the tobacco industry by offering harm reduction options.
