Seychelles Background
Datos obtenidos: 2024.   Página actualizada: 2025-11-05

En Seychelles, los cigarrillos electrónicos están prohibidos y se regulan como productos de tabaco. Su importación, venta y comercio—tanto de dispositivos como de nicotina—están prohibidos. Fuentes en línea también sugieren que no se permite ingresar productos de vapeo para uso personal, aunque esta información no está verificada. Por lo tanto, se recomienda a los viajeros consultar con las autoridades correspondientes antes de intentar ingresar cualquier producto de vapeo al país. Dado que los cigarrillos electrónicos se rigen por la normativa sobre tabaco, se puede asumir que el vapeo en lugares públicos está restringido. En cuanto a la prevalencia, una encuesta nacional reveló que en 2024 el uso de cigarrillos electrónicos en Seychelles fue del 5.6% en hombres y del 4.7% en mujeres de 18 a 74 años. Esto indica que los cigarrillos electrónicos están disponibles y son utilizados por personas en el país.
