Cigarettes are one of the most commonly consumed tobacco products in India. They contain nicotine, an addictive central nervous system (CNS) stimulant that provides an immediate sense of relaxation. At present, manufacturers are offering cigarettes in a wide range of shapes, sizes, colors and integrity in the country.

The calming neurological effects of nicotine present in tobacco are increasing the consumption of cigarettes among young adults to reduce stress and anxiety. This, in confluence with the growing population, inflating disposable incomes and hectic lifestyles of individuals, represents one of the significant factors contributing to the market growth in India. Apart from this, the key players are offering flavor on-demand product variants wherein liquid-filled capsules are crushed to flavor the cigarette smoke. These players are also investing in point-of-sale (PoS) and on-pack advertising to attract consumers in the country. This, along with the increasing efforts to sell products in other countries, is expected to spur the growth of the market in the future.
