Albania Background
Data sourced: more than 5 years ago.   Page updated: 2024-10-04

As of the latest data from July 21, 2020, the global prevalence of nicotine vaping device (e-cigarette) use in Albania is estimated at 3.04%, which marks an increase from the 2.60% prevalence recorded in July 2018. Correspondingly, the global number of users in Albania has risen from 61,705 in 2018 to 72,206.14 in 2020, indicating a growing acceptance and usage of these devices over the two-year period. Despite this rise in prevalence, Albania does not have any specific laws regulating the use of nicotine vaping devices, as noted from cross-referenced regulatory sources. This lack of specific regulation highlights a gap in the legislative framework concerning the control and oversight of e-cigarettes in the country.
