Keep marketing out of a consumer-promotion model. Saudi anti-smoking regulations include electronic smoking systems, prohibit sales to persons under 18, and prohibit direct or indirect advertising or promotion. The official sources reviewed did not establish a blanket flavor ban or an allowed-flavor list.
What should be inside the pre-launch legal review?
Review every image, headline, price presentation, gift, sample, channel, label, and retail display against the applicable restrictions. The Ministry of Health regulations prohibit direct or indirect advertising through websites, platforms, electronic media, and other media, as well as price reductions and free promotional items.
Flavor status requires a separate SFDA confirmation. The SASO device guide says e-liquid/flavor requirements sit with SFDA rather than the device regulation. Do not write that a named flavor is permitted or banned without product-specific, current confirmation.
