Qatar Background
Datos obtenidos: 2025.   Página actualizada: 2025-02-10

A partir de enero de 2025, los cigarrillos electrónicos están prohibidos en Catar. Es ilegal fabricar, vender, distribuir, utilizar, exhibir o importar dispositivos de vapeo y nicotina con fines comerciales. Tampoco está permitido adquirir cigarrillos electrónicos sin receta médica. Sin embargo, algunas fuentes en línea señalan que las compras por internet podrían ser posibles. Además, está prohibido ingresar vapeadores para uso personal, por lo que se recomienda a los viajeros no llevarlos a Catar para evitar problemas legales. En cuanto a la prevalencia del vapeo, los datos más recientes disponibles, correspondientes a 2013, indican que había aproximadamente 4,400 usuarios actuales en el país. La prevalencia entre adultos era del 0.2%, con un 1.6% en mujeres y un 0.9% en hombres. A pesar de las estrictas regulaciones vigentes en la actualidad, estas cifras reflejan la presencia inicial del vapeo en Catar antes de la prohibición implementada en 2014.
