Guatemala: e-cigarette regulation, September 2024

E-cigarettes with nicotine are not specifically regulated in Guatemala, but some of the provisions in place for tobacco products, such as labelling and advertising, apply. If the product contains nicotine, relevant provisions from the Health Code and other regulations apply.

With the appointment of a new health minister under president Bernardo Arévalo, there may be potential for future policy adjustments affecting tobacco and nicotine alternatives, though no immediate changes are anticipated.

This report provides details of the current regulatory framework in place for e-cigarettes in Guatemala, covering all policy areas from notification and taxation to advertising and labelling and packaging rules.
