In Morocco, oral tobacco is regulated under the category of manufactured tobacco products according to law 46.02/2003 on raw and manufactured tobacco. The law defines manufactured tobacco as “any tobacco product intended to be smoked, sniffed, sucked or chewed, even if they consist only partially of tobacco, excluding products and substances intended for medicinal use”. Nicotine pouches are not explicitly regulated or prohibited and thus fall under general consumer protection laws.
