Whether you are considering purchasing a commercial cigarette rolling machine for your own business or for a tobacco product manufacturer, you have to consider a few important factors first. These factors include cost, legality in Europe and the regional market, and filling speed.
Whether The Proprietor Is a Tobacco Product Manufacturer
Whether the proprietor of the bar is a tobacco product manufacturer or a retailer is a moot question. Regardless of whether they are in the business of supplying a consumer with cigarettes or the requisite liquor to boot, they have a vested interest in determining the neophyte’s smoking habits. This is the requisite to ensuring the aforementioned occupants are at their best.
One of the more mundane activities in a bar or pub setting is to ask for a smoke free area. In other words, you may have to do a little legwork to score the best deal on this front. The best time to do this is in the early morning hours, preferably before or after the bar closes. The aforementioned neophyte is bound to be a sleeper in such an environment.
Legality In Europe
Whether or not a commercial cigarette rolling machine is legal is up for debate. The nebulous question is, can you legally buy one in Europe and how do you go about it? The good news is, the EU isn’t the only jurisdiction that has a problem with the burgeoning vapor technology industry. There’s one country in particular that has banned all tobacco products from its shores. So, if you’re looking to legally snag the latest electronic cigarette kit, you’d better be quick.
The fabled legality of the commercial cigarette rolling machine is still up in the air, but the EU isn’t exactly keen on making the situation worse. That’s why they’re taking a cue from the likes of Canada, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, who have already started the ball rolling.
Filling Speed
‘Roll-your-own’ or ‘RYO’ machines are an alternative to commercially manufactured cigarettes. Using these machines allows people to make cigarettes on their own at home and at a cheaper price.
This cigarette machine works by applying the shredded tobacco to the cigarette paper. The cigarette paper is then rolled around a tobacco rod. These two processes are carried out on a horizontal plane by two conveyor belts. The conveyor belts are then moved in a subsequent working procedure.
Once the tobacco has been applied to the cigarette paper, the edges are then glued together to form a cigarette rod. The rod is then cut into predetermined lengths. The cigarette rod then passes through a cigarette tube filling machine, where the tobacco is injected into the cigarette tube.
Cost To a Retail Establishment
Using a commercial cigarette rolling machine to make your own cigarettes can be a fun and frugal way to reduce the cost of smoking. In fact, you can roll 200 cigarettes in less than fifteen minutes. But, if you’re interested in saving money on your next smoke, you’ll need to get a machine, a storage case, and maybe a few rolls of tobacco. The cost of a machine can reach $3000 or more.
Several states have introduced legislation to define retailers of Roll Your Own (RYO) machines as manufacturers. According to the Department of Public Health, this is not a good idea. If you’re using a machine to make your own cigarettes, you may not qualify for the 42 cents per pack cigarette tax rate.
Aside from cigarette prices, a roll-your-own cigarette machine also has to comply with state and federal health code requirements. This means that you may have to pay to have your machine cleaned out and disinfected on a regular basis.
Regional Markets
Several regional markets for commercial cigarette rolling machine are emerging. The demand is boosted by the increasing number of smokers in developing countries. It is also a result of rising social status among the consumers.
The global market is expected to record a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The developed regions are expected to witness moderate growth due to government regulations. However, emerging markets are expected to show healthy growth.
The major regional markets for joint rolling machines are North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. The market in Eastern Europe is estimated to be driven by Russia. The market in Latin America and Africa is expected to grow at a moderate pace. The market in North America is expected to maintain its lead during the forecast period.
