TOBACCO MYTHS

At the Scandinavian Tobacco Group, we believe in open and honest communication.

We understand that there are myths and misconceptions surrounding our industry, and we want to address them head-on.

We value transparency and want to provide potential employees with a realistic view of our company and the tobacco industry.

You’re a cigarette company!

No, we’re not. Our company makes high-quality tobacco products, mainly within “pleasure-smoking” segments like cigars and pipes.

You have to smoke to work at Scandinavian Tobacco Group

No, you don’t. At Scandinavian Tobacco Group, we welcome both smokers and non-smokers – but we expect all our employees to feel confident about working with tobacco.

I’d be encouraging people to live unhealthy lives!

As the world’s largest manufacturer of cigars and pipe tobacco, we navigate in a vast sea of global and local regulations, and we carefully honor all of them. We never encourage nonsmokers to start, but we are proud to create moments of great enjoyment for adult smokers.

You’re an “old school” company!

Scandinavian Tobacco Group is an international workplace with more than 10000 employees around the world. The values of good judgment, respect for others, and acting responsibly are timeless and essential in any modern workplace. At the Scandinavian Tobacco Group, we embrace these values and consider them fundamental to our success as a global and diverse company.

Tobacco products are controversial

Our finely crafted products give customers pleasure and satisfaction. But we also know that smoking tobacco entails health risks and associated strong emotions. Because of this, we fully acknowledge that tobacco products should be regulated and we support balanced, evidence-based regulation of our own products.

Tobacco companies are a dying breed

While the tobacco business does face challenges, we keep growing steadily – in part because of acquisitions and innovative product development and marketing. When you join us, you’ll be part of a growing global business in a challenging industry.
