These categories encompass cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, cigars and cigarillos, next-generation products (NGPs), and Kretek, and the market dynamics within these segments have evolved in recent years. Historically, cigarettes have held a dominant position in the Colombian tobacco market, with a plethora of local and international brands. Cigarettes have been widely accessible and remain the most commonly chosen tobacco product among Colombians, despite the government's implementation of stringent regulations, including graphic warning labels on packaging and higher taxes on tobacco products, aimed at reducing smoking rates and protecting public health.
