Nigeria maintains an overall positive regulatory stance on Snus, permitting its sale and use. However, certain restrictions still apply: online sales are prohibited; manufacturers are required to include health warnings on packaging; and health claims are not allowed. Approved flavours include tobacco, mint, and menthol. Excise tax rates range from 10% to 50% of those applied to cigarettes.
