Over the past few years, anti-tobacco activists have been claiming that moderate consumption of organic cigarettes will help quit smoking.

Asia Pacific is expected to remain the fastest growing segment, witnessing a CAGR of more than 8% from 2019 to 2025, attributed to the shifting inclination of consumers towards roll-your-own cigarette product forms in prominent markets such as South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, and Malaysia.

Furthermore, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) permitted use of the product for smoking as well as non-smoking applications.

The majority of smokers are now shifting towards organic tobacco rolled cigarettes, which is positively impacting the market. Rising health awareness is driving smokers to change their preferences. As the product is less harmful compared to conventional tobacco, the majority of smokers have been shifting their focus towards the consumption of cigars and cigarettes derived from organic tobacco, instead of quitting the smoking habit completely.
