Spain: oral tobacco and nicotine pouch regulation, October 2022

Oral tobacco products (such as snus) are banned in Spain, but chewing tobacco is legal. Nicotine pouches are not covered by any product-specific regulation and their legal classification has been open to interpretation for some time. The future of the Spanish regulatory framework is also highly dependent on the upcoming elections – as shown in our Policy Radar – as there is a sharp contrast in policies between the ruling and opposition parties towards nicotine and tobacco products.

This report provides a detailed overview of the current regulatory framework for oral tobacco and nicotine pouches in Spain, covering all policy areas.
