Nicotine Pouches in Chile
When it comes to snus and nicotine pouches, Chile is in a unique position within Latin America. As of early 2024, nicotine pouches didn’t fall under any existing tobacco regulations - effectively leaving the category unregulated However, a new law introduced in Chile (Law 21.642) clearly separates vaping and nicotine pouches from traditional tobacco and sets a higher nicotine limit of 45 mg/ml - signaling that Chile is taking harm-reduction seriously and could set an example for the region.
Snus in Chile
Chile currently has no specific regulation targeting snus, and it remains in a legal gray area. According to the Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction (GSTHR), there is no formal ban or restriction on the sale or personal use of snus, though it is not explicitly regulated either.
Because Chile’s existing tobacco laws primarily focus on combustible tobacco products, items like snus (which is smokeless and often tobacco-free) fall outside the scope of most restrictions. This lack of clear regulation offers a unique opportunity for brands and consumers, but it also means availability can be limited and subject to change depending on future legislation.
