Lebanon has a favourable regulatory status for nicotine pouches, permitting their sale, purchase, and use. There are no excise taxes levied on these products, and no restrictions on the range of flavours. However, some restrictions are in place, including a requirement for health warnings on packaging and a ban on health claims. Available sources, however, do not indicate whether these products can be imported for personal use or the quantity that can be imported.
