Daily regulatory updates of the tobacco alternative sector. It includes weekly podcasts and monthly compilations

12th July 2023: Ghana: The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has issued a statement saying the sale, advertising and recreational use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) and “other non-nicotine tobacco products” are forbidden. It calls on manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and retailers to immediately remove all advertisements for products that can be registered “as a prescription only medicine for smoking cessation”, and to stop importing them. While the authority does not specifically mention heated tobacco products (HTPs), its interpretation of the regulation may include them.
