Pakistan has a favourable regulatory environment for snus. The sale, purchase, and use of snus are permitted by law. There are no restrictions on flavour ranges, and no excise tax is levied. However, some regulatory requirements still exist: manufacturers are required to include health warnings on the packaging, and health claims are not permitted.
