The move aims to make the company leaner, more tech-savvy, and cost-efficient amid slowing traditional cigarette sales and fierce competition from vapes, nicotine pouches, and cheaper alternatives. Regulatory roadblocks, especially in the U.S., have further hampered new product launches. Though layoffs were hinted at in February, the scale may still surprise investors. Most employees have already been notified, with final consultations underway to comply with local laws — and the company vows to support those affected through this tough transition.
