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

Según los datos más recientes disponibles, hasta 2018 el consumo de tabaco tradicional sin humo en Zambia era relativamente bajo, con un 1.1% de mujeres adultas y un 0.5% de hombres adultos que declararon ser consumidores actuales. El tabaco tradicional sin humo en Zambia es legal y está regulado como producto de tabaco, por lo que su venta y consumo están permitidos, incluyendo la compra por internet. Sin embargo, los envases deben incluir advertencias sanitarias y la edad mínima para la venta está fijada en 16 años. Cabe destacar que no están prohibidas todas las formas de publicidad.
