La prevalencia de consumo diario era del 1.5%, siendo del 2.5% en mujeres y del 0.5% en hombres. Desde el punto de vista regulatorio, el tabaco sin humo tradicional está permitido y se regula como producto de tabaco en Liberia. Por lo tanto, el uso, la venta y la compra en línea de tabaco sin humo son legales. No se exige la inclusión de advertencias sanitarias en el empaque, ni existe prohibición de la publicidad. La edad mínima legal para comprar estos productos es de 18 años.
