W Vanuatu palenie tytoniu jest dozwolone pod pewnymi warunkami. Sprzedaż i kupno papierosów, w tym sprzedaż internetowa, są legalne, natomiast zakazane jest nabywanie papierosów w automatach. Import papierosów w celu dalszej sprzedaży wymaga posiadania odpowiedniej licencji importowej, natomiast przywóz na własny użytek jest dozwolony w określonych ilościach. Opakowania papierosów muszą być opatrzone ostrzeżeniami zdrowotnymi, mającymi na celu informowanie palaczy o zagrożeniach związanych z paleniem. Minimalny wiek uprawniający do zakupu wyrobów tytoniowych, w tym papierosów, wynosi 18 lat. Co ciekawe, w przeciwieństwie do wielu innych krajów, w Vanuatu nie ma przepisów prawnych zakazujących palenia w miejscach publicznych. Całkowita stawka podatku na papierosy wynosi w tym kraju 77%. Według danych z 2020 roku, liczba aktualnych palaczy wynosiła około 34 900 osób, a ogólna częstość występowania palenia wśród dorosłych osiągnęła poziom 19,1%. U dorosłych mężczyzn odsetek palących wynosił 35,3%, natomiast wśród kobiet jedynie 2,7%. Dla porównania, dane z 2017 roku wskazują, że odsetek dorosłych palących codziennie wynosił 12,3%, w tym 23% wśród mężczyzn i 1,7% wśród kobiet. W tym samym roku oszacowano liczbę codziennych palaczy na około 20 800 osób. Palenie tytoniu przyczynia się również do śmiertelności mieszkańców Vanuatu. W 2021 roku szacowano, że palenie było przyczyną 199 zgonów, z czego 170 dotyczyło mężczyzn, a 29 kobiet. Oznacza to, że zgony związane z paleniem stanowiły 8,85% wszystkich zgonów w kraju w 2021 roku, w tym 12,45% wszystkich zgonów mężczyzn i 3,29% zgonów kobiet.
