Diving factors:

A number of drivers fuel the Germany cigarette business. Some drivers are growing populations of adults, world smoking behavior, and growth in retailing and e-commerce channels.

The popularity of specific brands and the continuous investment in product innovation by manufacturers play a role in maintaining market position. 

Restraining Factors:

The cigarette industry contains several obstacles, mainly restricted by government intervention and continuous public awareness.

More taxation on tobacco can have the consequence of making prices higher, so cigarettes become less appealing and affordable, particularly among youth. The industry has been more than happy to downplay the health risks of smoking and the addicting nature of nicotine and created a public health epidemic.
