Hasta 2019, se estimaba que en Arabia Saudita había 606,900 usuarios de tabaco sin humo tradicional, una de las cifras más altas de la región. La prevalencia entre adultos era del 2.4%, con un consumo significativamente mayor en hombres (3.7%) que en mujeres (0.5%). El uso diario también era relevante, con un 1.4% de adultos que lo consumían todos los días—2.1% de hombres y 0.2% de mujeres. A pesar de estos niveles de consumo, el tabaco sin humo tradicional está prohibido por ley en Arabia Saudita, y su venta es ilegal, lo que refleja la postura regulatoria del país orientada a desalentar su uso y proteger la salud pública.
