Oral tobacco, including snus, is banned in Spain, except for chewing tobacco.
Nicotine pouches are not currently specifically regulated, so only consumer laws apply.
Significant changes are expected in the regulation of nicotine pouches in the medium term. The government is currently processing a regulation that aims to subject them to age, product, labelling and packaging, and notification requirements.
This report provides detailed analysis of the regulatory framework for oral tobacco and nicotine pouches in Spain, covering all policy areas from market access and taxation to advertising and packaging.
