Nicotine addiction is one of the important reasons behind the increasing smoking habits among women. Psychological factors such as tobacco dependency also play a significant role that makes them difficult to stop smoking. For instance, women cite psychological reasons such as smoking as a sign of fashion in society and peer pressure.
The social factors include upbringing of children in materially disadvantaged circumstances. These aforementioned factors are making women incline more towards smoking cigars and cigarillos, and to a certain extent, premium cigars. Remarkable cigar consumption among women has been recorded in Sweden.
In order to generate more sales revenue, manufacturers of cigars and cigarillos are focusing on expanding their product portfolio and production capacity. As a result, a majority of manufacturers are adopting strategies such as mergers and acquisitions as well as launching new products.
This factor is creating a positive impact on the Europe cigars and cigarillos market. For example, Altria Group Inc. acquired John Middleton Inc., which is a leading manufacturer of machine-made large cigars, in order to expand its business in the cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products market.
