Data sourced: more than 5 years ago.   Page updated: 2025-02-28

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.
