Description
According to Law No. 37/2007, the sale of tobacco for oral use is prohibited. This ban covers snus, but does not cover chewing tobacco. Nicotine pouches without tobacco are not regulated by tobacco legislation and would either fall under Infarmed’s authority or general consumer laws.
Heated tobacco consumables are considered a novel smokeless tobacco product. However, the device used to heat the consumable element is regulated as a consumer product. In 2022, the Ministry of Health opened a public consultation on the National Strategy to Fight Cancer 2021-2030 to ensure full implementation of the WHO FCTC. The strategy proposed vague additional regulations of ingredients, packaging, sales, advertising and sponsorship.
This two-report bundle provides a detailed analysis of Portugal’s regulatory framework for oral tobacco, nicotine pouches and heated tobacco products, covering all policy areas.
