Ghana Background
Datos obtenidos: 2025.   Página actualizada: 2026-01-29

En Ghana, existen informes contradictorios sobre la regulación del vapeo. Algunas fuentes, como Global Tobacco Control, señalan que no hay una ley específica sobre los cigarrillos electrónicos. Sin embargo, Tobacco Reporter informa que la venta, la publicidad y el uso recreativo de cigarrillos electrónicos están prohibidos, y su uso solo está permitido con receta médica como parte de una terapia para dejar de fumar. No hay información clara sobre la disponibilidad de estos productos en el país, pero debido a la supuesta prohibición, se considera que los cigarrillos electrónicos son poco comunes. También se desconoce si los viajeros pueden importarlos para uso personal. Si cuenta con experiencia directa sobre la regulación del vapeo en Ghana, le invitamos a compartir esa información con el equipo de GSTHR.
