The median household disposable income in the United Kingdom reached £32,300 for the financial year ending 2022. Over the period between FY 2020 and FY 2022, the median household disposable income experienced an average annual growth rate of 0.7%. With the increase in disposable income, consumers have more financial resources available to spend on non-essential items like tobacco products. This increase in disposable income enables consumers to transition from economy or low-cost tobacco options to premium brands that are often associated with higher quality or elevated status. Moreover, tobacco companies frequently launch new products and variations, including flavoured tobacco and advanced nicotine delivery systems, to appeal to consumers with higher disposable income. Higher earnings can result in a propensity to experiment and a readiness to try out various types of products.
Luxury cigars are frequently perceived as symbols of status and opulence. Premium cigars, particularly those produced by well-known brands, are linked with elegance, achievement, and special occasions. In the UK, there has been a notable rise in the consumption of non-cigarette tobacco products. Recent data indicates that the usage of pipes, shisha, and cigars has increased five times over the span of a decade, with 3% of 18-year-olds engaging in these forms compared to 1.1% of individuals aged 65 and above.
