Guatemala: heated tobacco and herbal heated product regulation, September 2024

Heated tobacco is not specifically regulated in Guatemala, but some provisions apply that are in place for tobacco products, such as those for labelling and advertising.

There are no retail restrictions, so products can be sold online and through vending machines.

There is currently no product-specific regulatory framework for herbal heated products.

With the recent appointment of a new minister of health under president Bernardo Arévalo’s administration, there is potential for future policy adjustments that could affect tobacco alternatives, though no immediate changes are anticipated.

This report offers analysis of the regulatory framework in place in Guatemala for heated tobacco and herbal heated products, covering all policy areas.
