If you're flying internationally, vape laws vary dramatically. Some countries ban vaping devices entirely, meaning your device will be confiscated at customs — and you could face fines or detention.
Countries That Ban Vapes Entirely
Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, Brazil, India, Mexico, Argentina, and the UAE prohibit the import, possession, and use of vaping devices. Attempting to bring a vape through customs in these countries can result in confiscation, fines, or even imprisonment. Do not pack vapes when traveling to these destinations.
Countries With Restrictions
UK, EU member states, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan allow vaping devices but have specific regulations. Most require vapes in carry-on luggage (same as TSA), restrict e-liquid quantities, and prohibit use in public spaces. Some countries require nicotine-free e-liquid only. Always check the destination country's regulations before packing your device.
Cruises and Trains
Most cruise lines prohibit vaping in cabins and public areas, with designated smoking areas only. Amtrak prohibits all vaping on trains and platforms. Airlines universally prohibit vaping on aircraft, with federal penalties up to $4,000 for violations.
