Are snus and nicotine pouches legal in Tunisia?
Tunisia has no dedicated legislation for nicotine pouches: as of 2023 data, sale, import and use are not specifically regulated. Tobacco snus is reported as legal to sell, purchase and use and marketed in the country, but the only source is a 2014 industry claim with no law cited. Neither status rests on a primary legal source, so confidence is low; no customs allowance for either product was found.
