Earlier Report Observations
Between 2018 and 2023, Samoa's production of unmanufactured tobacco and refuse showed modest growth from 246 t to 253 t, with a peak of 255 t in 2020. The market volume remained relatively stable, experiencing only minor annual fluctuations throughout the period.
Regulatory developments influenced the market environment. The Tobacco Control Amendment Act of early 2019 established a national committee to strengthen enforcement of tobacco laws. In 2023, increased excise taxes on tobacco raised concerns about the financial pressure on the sole local factory, though production volumes did not contract significantly.
Further regulatory tightening occurred in 2024 with the Tobacco Control Amendment Bill, which prohibited flavored tobacco products and raised the legal smoking age to 21. The government also enforced the removal of e-cigarettes from retail shelves, continuing the trend of stricter controls on nicotine products.
