So, what are you waiting for – start packing your bags! And, do not forget to pack your vape pen in your carry-on luggage too! However, we have to warn you that some countries have stringent policies when it comes to vaping. Thus, do thorough research before you leave, especially if you can’t imagine spending the day without your vaping pen. We are also here to help you with this research by sharing the seven most vape-friendly countries you should visit. Keep on reading to find out more.
Countries Where Vaping is Forbidden
Although vaping is allowed in most countries of the world, there are still some whose legal systems do not allow it. For instance, vaping is forbidden in several Asian countries like Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Vaping is also prohibited in most African countries – Egypt being one of them. And, when it comes to European countries, the only country you cannot vape in is Turkey. Bear in mind that the punishment for vaping in some of these countries is severe – you might be sent to jail or be fined a large sum of money.
Be sure to check the vaping laws when traveling to a particular country and when moving internationally. You may find yourself encountering a lot of potential difficulties – moving and vaping ones! Some countries, like Sweden, do not allow vaping in your apartment but only at certain vaping places around the city! So, again, do thorough research before you move.

Countries Where Vaping is Allowed
Now that we have covered the countries where vaping could cause you problems, let us turn to those where it won’t. The good news is that these countries are in the majority. In all of them, you can vape without any consequences! So, let us get to them. Here are the seven vape-friendly countries you should visit on your next vacation.
- Canada
One of the countries you should definitely visit if you are going North is Canada. The entire country is vape-friendly. However, be careful if you like to both smoke cigarettes and vape. Vaping is allowed everywhere, but smoking is not. Some hotels, restaurants, bars, etc., have strict policies because the industry is not yet regulated. But, do not worry; if you do smoke or vape in a banned area, you will just be politely asked to stop and go someplace else (outside).
- New Zealand
When it comes to New Zealand, the only place you cannot vape is on the plane. Everywhere else, it is allowed. Believe it or not, but the country supports vaping here! So, if you want to travel someplace exotic without ever letting go of your favorite vaping pen, New Zealand is the place for you. Whether you want to explore the forests and mountains or some of the most beautiful beaches, this country has got you covered.
- England
When traveling to Europe, one of the most vape-friendly countries you can visit is England. If you feel like a pint of beer and a portion of fish and chips, you know where to go. Mind you – both of these go amazingly well with vaping. But, be careful if you plan on exploring the entire United Kingdom. Scotland, Ireland, and Wales do not have the same vaping rules.
- Germany
After England, the second most vape-friendly country you can visit is Germany. Here, you can see (and smell) vaping clouds in pretty much all touristic places. Thus, there is no reason to worry about getting fined, if of course, you are older than 18. Moreover, if you are a vaping enthusiast, it is also good to know that Germany was one of the first countries to start supporting vaping pens. This is because experts confirmed that vaping is a much safer alternative to smoking cigarettes! So, you will not be the only one vaping here – the locals will join you.
- Serbia
If you plan on exploring the great Balkans with your vaping pen in hand, the small country of Serbia is a great place to start. Most people in Serbia are cigarette smokers, and by supporting vaping, the country is trying to persuade people to go from cigarettes to vaping pens. Because of this fact, vaping and acquiring vape supplies is not only legal but also very easy. You can find vape supplies’ stores in every city in Serbia. However, just like mentioned before – if you plan on visiting other Balkan countries like Bulgaria, Montenegro, Croatia, etc., be sure to check their vaping laws – rules differ from country to country.
- Russia
Did you know that smoking is a big part of Russian culture? You can smoke anywhere you desire – both inside and out because Russians love their cigarettes. When vaping was first introduced approximately ten years ago, many locals fell in love with it. Now, vaping, just as smoking, is allowed in public without any restrictions or possible consequences. And, because of this, you can find vape supplies stores on every corner. You can even find some unique and incredibly satisfying vaping combinations in some of them.
- Sweden
In the beginning, we mentioned that Sweden is one of the countries where vaping is not allowed. But, let us clarify why we are mentioning it again. Namely, Sweden is the country that supports vaping (because of health reasons), but there are designated areas for it. Usually, those are open areas like parks, beaches, etc. However, smoking and vaping is forbidden in most hotels, business and residential buildings. If you are caught vaping in a place that is not designated for it, you will be fined!
As you can see, there are many vape-friendly countries you should visit, and they are all fantastic tourist destinations well worth your time. Just pick the part of the world you wish to see next.
