• Legal status and import taxes

• Buying from Snusi.net vs. Hamad International Airport duty free

🏺 From Tombak to Nicotine Pouches in Qatar

For many years, tombak (chewing tobacco) was widely used across the Gulf. In Qatar, it was known locally by names such as suweika, shamma, desert, hout. While popular, it carried significant health risks.

Around 2020, Qatar became one of the first Gulf nations to recognize nicotine pouches. The first product introduced was LYFT Ice (before being rebranded as VELO). Soon after, VELO Cool and other varieties entered the market, followed by strong competitors like White Fox Blue and White Fox Double Mint.

Today, customers in Qatar can order a wide range of Swedish nicotine pouches online from Snusi.net.
