Philip Morris Korea will begin selling domestically produced Heets tobacco sticks later this month, reports the Yonhap News Agency.
Until now, Philip Morris Korea has imported Heets for sale in South Korea.
Philip Morris Korea has expanded its production facility in Yangsan, the first facility in Asia to manufacture heated tobacco units for its tobacco heating device IQOS.
The share of Heets was reported at 8.1 percent of South Korea’s total tobacco market in August.
