Qatar maintains one of the most restrictive environments for smoke-free products, with significant limitations across all critical policy dimensions. Accessibility is extremely low at just 2.21, reflecting a lack of product availability in the market. Acceptability scores 0, indicating that current regulations either prohibit or strongly discourage the use of smoke-free alternatives. Affordability is also nonexistent, scoring 0, which further compounds the inaccessibility of these products for adult smokers. To effectively reduce smoking rates and support harm reduction, Qatar would need to undertake a fundamental policy shift—removing legal and financial barriers and promoting access to safer alternatives as part of a broader public health strategy.
