Ecuador: Oral Tobacco, Nicotine Pouch and Heated Tobacco Regulation

This product contains two individual regulatory reports:

Ecuador: Oral tobacco and nicotine pouch regulation

Oral tobacco products are regulated in the Law on the Regulation and Control of Tobacco and the Tobacco Control Regulation. Accordingly, they are subject to age, labelling and packaging, advertising and public usage restrictions. We believe nicotine pouches would also be included in the scope of the above-mentioned regulations.

This report provides analysis of the current regulatory framework in place in Ecuador for oral tobacco products and nicotine pouches, covering all policy areas.

Ecuador: Heated tobacco regulation

Heated tobacco products are not specifically addressed in the Law on the Regulation and Control of Tobacco or the Tobacco Control Regulation. However, they must comply with both regulations given that the definition of tobacco products includes cigarettes, cigars, tobacco, cut tobacco, hookah or water pipes, leaf extracts, and other products of similar use, prepared wholly or in part using tobacco as raw material and intended to be smoked, inhaled, sucked, chewed or used, such as snuff.

This report provides analysis of the current regulatory framework in place in Ecuador for heated tobacco products, covering all policy areas.
