In Mauritania, several sources state that no specific laws regulate e-cigarettes and vaping. There are no available data on whether the sale, purchase, marketing, advertisement, or import of vaping products is permitted, nor on any public use restrictions.
However, a WHO study on e-cigarette use among students indicates that vaping products are available and used in the country.
If you have firsthand experience or insights on vaping regulations in Mauritania, please email the GSTHR team.
