En Egipto, en 2017 había 124,300 usuarios actuales de productos tradicionales de tabaco sin combustión. Entre los adultos, solo el 0.2% los consume, sin casos reportados en mujeres y una prevalencia ligeramente mayor del 0.4% en hombres. El consumo diario en ese mismo año fue aún menor, con un 0.1% en total—nuevamente cero para mujeres y 0.2% para hombres. El producto está permitido legalmente y regulado como producto de tabaco. Puede comprarse en línea, consumirse y venderse legalmente en todo el país. El empaque debe incluir advertencias sobre los riesgos para la salud, y existe una estricta prohibición de venta a menores de 18 años.
