Malaysia: oral tobacco and nicotine pouches, February 2024

Oral tobacco products fall under the broad definition of tobacco products in Malaysia, while nicotine pouches are subject to the pharmaceutical regime. It is fairly unlikely that the country imposes specific restrictions on either oral tobacco products or nicotine pouches in the foreseeable future, aside from the recently-approved law targeting vaping and tobacco products in general.

This report provides detailed analysis of the current and near-future regulation of oral tobacco and nicotine pouches in Malaysia, covering all policy areas from taxation and notification to advertising and labelling requirements.
