E-cigarettes are regulated in Saudi Arabia in a similar way to Europe, as most of the EU Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) technical requirements have been implemented.
The most important change that could happen in the medium term is that Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf Cooperation Council countries agree on a joint standard, which will lead to a change of rules. There could also be smaller regulatory changes resulting from Saudi Arabia’s 2030 vision for the promotion of public health.
This report offers an overview of the current regulatory framework for e-cigs and related products in Saudi Arabia, covering all policy areas from taxation, notification and labelling to advertising, product restrictions and public usage.
