Norway is a small market for cigarettes and one where duty paid sales are in sharp decline primarily due to increased anti-smoking legislation. Since 2009, the market has suffered from annual falls culminating in a forecast 12.5% decline in 2018 to 1,450 million pieces. Per capita consumption is also low and registered 269 pieces a year in 2018 or 38.7% of 1990. Domestic consumption includes substantial volumes of cross border and duty free sales, as well as some RYO cigarette use. Taken with the continued popularity of snus, cigarette sales are under considerable pressure.
