In South Sudan, traditional smokeless tobacco use is allowed and is regulated as a tobacco product. It is thus legal to sell and use these products, with online purchases permitted. However, health warnings on packaging are not required, and there is a minimum sales age of 18 years. Notably, not all forms of advertising of these products are banned.
