This bachelor thesis examines the perception of heated tobacco products by members of Generation Z. The first, theoretical, part aims to scrutinise the shopping behaviour and key characteristics of Generation Z. It then introduces the products of heated tobacco, the principle on which they function and possible health risks associated with their use. For the purposes and nature of this paper, it also emphasises the legislation and ethics codes, which deal with the issue of tobacco advertising. The work then focuses on the analysis of marketing strategies of specific brands of heated tobacco available in the Czech Republic - IQOS and glo. The second, practical, part examines the attitudes towards heated tobacco, using the methods of qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interviews. Researcher participants - members of Generation Z, aged 18 to 25, who have had previous experience with IQOS or Glo - answered questions about consumer behaviour, their motivation to use heated tobacco products and perceptions of marketing strategies. The work does not draw any generalisable conclusions but provides insight into the thinking and opinions of Generation Z.
