Data sourced: 2023.   Page updated: 2025-06-19

There are no available data on the prevalence of traditional smokeless tobacco use in Equatorial Guinea. Despite this lack of information, the product is legally permitted and falls under the national framework for tobacco control, indicating it is regulated as a tobacco product. Smokeless tobacco can also be purchased online, and there are no minimum age restrictions on its sale, allowing access to individuals of any age. However, packaging must include health warnings to inform consumers of potential risks.
