In Nigeria there is a law which prohibits the sale of tobacco products via the internet, single cigarettes and small packets of cigarettes. The law also restricts the sale via vending machines and to persons under the age of 18. However in the last few years, there has been several calls for an intensified restriction on the use of such products by young persons.

Exposing children to smoking makes them more susceptible to asthma, allergies, ear infections and eczema (a skin condition). They are also at risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
