In Portugal, smoking is allowed but strictly regulated. The regulatory framework show that cigarettes are allowed in the country with some restrictions. Under these regulations, health warnings on packaging are mandatory, the minimum legal age for sales is 18 years, and smoking is restricted in public places. A comprehensive ban on all cigarette advertising is also in force. The excise tax of 45.34% contributing to a total taxation rate of 78% is applied on cigarettes. Cigarettes can legally be sold, and they may be purchased through vending machines. However, online purchase is not legal. Importing cigarettes for trade is allowed with an appropriate import license.

Despite these control measures, prevalence data show that smoking prevalence is high in Portugal. There were 2.1 million current smokers in the country in 2024. This represents an overall adult smoking prevalence of 23.4%, with higher prevalence among men (30.8%) than among women (16.7%). The overall current smoking prevalence was 20.9% in 2022. Adult daily smoking prevalence was recorded to be 15.8% in 2023. Smoking-related mortality also remains significant. In 2021, smoking resulted in 8,087 deaths, including 6,797 among men and 1,290 among women. This means, smoking accounted for 6.57% of all deaths in Portugal in 2021, with a higher rate among men (10.94%) than among women (2.11%).
