Kenya Background
Datos obtenidos: 2023.   Página actualizada: 2025-06-19

En 2015, se estimaba que 968,900 personas en Kenia eran usuarias actuales de tabaco sin combustión tradicional. La prevalencia de uso actual en adultos de estos productos era del 3.6%, con un 4.0% de hombres y un 3.3% de mujeres consumiéndolos. La prevalencia de uso diario era del 2.4% en general, algo más alta entre las mujeres (2.8%) que entre los hombres (2.1%), lo que sugiere que, aunque los hombres tenían mayor tendencia a probar el tabaco sin combustión, las mujeres tenían mayor probabilidad de consumirlo de forma habitual. Desde el punto de vista regulatorio, el tabaco sin combustión tradicional está permitido en Kenia y se regula como producto de tabaco. Por lo tanto, la venta, el consumo y la compra en línea de tabaco sin combustión son legales. Sin embargo, existe una prohibición total de toda forma de publicidad, y es obligatorio incluir advertencias sanitarias en los envases. La edad mínima legal para la compra es de 18 años.
