Are snus and nicotine pouches legal in Andorra?
No product-specific law on tobacco snus or nicotine pouches could be found for Andorra, a WHO FCTC party since 2020 with low tobacco taxes and permissive retail. General tobacco control policy sets an 18-year purchase age and requires health warnings, but sources do not confirm whether snus or nicotine pouches are stocked or restricted. Andorra is widely known as a low-tax shopping destination for cigarettes and other tobacco, sold in supermarkets and specialised shops. Travellers leaving Andorra for the EU face outbound limits (e.g. 300 cigarettes or 400 g of pipe tobacco); no rule for bringing pouches or snus into Andorra itself was found.

Tobacco snus in Andorra
Unclear, no specific rule found.
Tobaccocontrollaws.org's Andorra summary confirms WHO FCTC party status (9 August 2020) and an 18-year purchase age but contains no text on smokeless tobacco or snus specifically. Andorra is not an EU member so the EU oral-tobacco ban (Directive 2014/40/EU Art. 17) does not automatically apply, but no evidence of snus being sold was found either.
