KT&G plans to launch a tobacco heating device in its home market in November, according to a Yonhap News Agency report citing an unnamed company official.

Philip Morris International and British American Tobacco have introduced their heat-not-burn devices into the Korean market this year. The KT&G product is battery powered and will be marketed under the Lil brand, Yonhap said. An announcement by KT&G, the country’s leading cigarette maker, was planned for the end of October or early November, the official reportedly said.
