Just Published: "Tobacco Packaging in Japan"

Tobacco packaging registered a decline by 3% in off-trade volume sales in 2014 to fall to 29 billion units. This continued the downward trend over much of the review period. Packaging sales decreased because of the overall decline in tobacco consumption and the falling smoking rate in Japan. According to a survey by the Tobacco Institute of Japan, the adult smoking rate dropped from 25.7% in 2008 to 20.9% in 2013. The smoking rate of Japanese men dropped from 39.5% in 2008 to 32.2% while the smoking rate of Japanese women fell from 12.9% in 2008 to 10.5% in 2013. The falling smoking rate in Japan is attributed to a number of reasons, including an ageing population, changing consumer attitudes and increasing awareness of health and wellness issues. Also, the tighter regulations on smoking, tax increases and price revisions discouraged tobacco consumption.
