Dear Mikaela,
Dear all,
Thank you all for your opinion!
It helped to make a decision.
I would like to inform that we have asked to provide additional information and data regarding added amount (1.5 mg and 3 mg) of nicotine. Submitter must provide data and tests that during the use of such products, the toxic or addictive effects of the tobacco product will not increase significantly or to a measurable extent or carcinogenic, mutagenic, reproductive system toxic properties. We have not received an answer yet.
Regarding herbal nicotine sticks,
For my point of view, herbal nicotine sticks cannot be accepted as herbal smoking products, based on the fact that the health warnings do not contain an indication to consumers about the occurrence of addiction!
But, tobacco with herbs and nicotine can be as NTP if the industry can justify that the nicotine amount added during the use of such products, the toxic or addictive effects of the tobacco product will not increase significantly or to a measurable extent or carcinogenic, mutagenic, reproductive system toxic properties.
Therefore, tobacco-free herbal nicotine sticks (heated products) are classified as tobacco substitutes (also known as "surrogates").
The definition is included in the Tobacco Law on 08.02.2024.
Moreover, Tobacco Law includes the following product device definition:
"c) an electronic heating device, which is a product or a part of this product, which is intended for the use of a newly introduced tobacco product, tobacco substitute product, herbal smoking product or other product (except medicinal products) to inhale nicotine-containing or non-nicotine vapor through the mouthpiece;” .
From 01.08.2024 such devices will apply a display ban!
From January 1, 2025, the ban on flavorings (except for 16 tobacco) for e-cigarettes comes into force!
Full amendments of
Tobacco Law please see from section 
:

Dear Dace, dear colleagues,
Unfortunately, we can only confirm that there is no legal bases to say nicotine cannot be added to tobacco products.
Which category would you place herbal nicotine sticks (heated product)?

Teema: Regardin Novel tobacco products with added nicotine

Dear colleagues,
I hope that some of the EU-CEG data processors or colleagues from JATC2 WP5 or WP6 can share national opinion!
I also ask question in Forum on October, 2023
Do you accept the fact that heated tobacco, notified via EU-CEG, can contain nicotine in addition to tobacco?
I think they should be filed under the "Other" item category!
Unfortunately, I don't find any legal justification that nicotine cannot be added to tobacco products!
For example, brands HEECHI and LEME:

I would also appreciate it if you could forward it to someone from your member state who can give an opinion or send me contacts where I can ask.
