Although no official statistics are available on the use of traditional smokeless tobacco in Guinea-Bissau, the product is allowed and is regulated as a tobacco product. The sale and online purchase of smokeless tobacco are legal. There is no ban on advertising, and health warnings on packaging are not required. Additionally, no minimum age restriction exists for the sale of these products, which raises concerns about youth exposure and access.
