8 Best Countries for Vapers [& 3 Countries You DON’T Want to Get Caught Vaping In]

So you’re tired of being cooped up in your house, petting the cat to death, and scrolling to the end of Netflix?

You and me both.

But I’ve got a pastime for you right here — and I’ve been keeping myself occupied with it until such time I can put it all into gear… planning, scheming, and spending a gawd-awful amount of time on Airbnb looking for cheap places to crash in.

Of course, I’m talking about traveling.

[Provided we ain’t hit by a plague of locusts next… fingers crossed.]

You see, I’ve been thinking about where I want to go next when it dawned on me that I have to look at it through the lens of what countries are best for vapers. After all, I don’t want to go somewhere only to be told that there’s a hefty fine involved if

I’m caught vaping in a public place… or worse.

So I did a bit of digging that I hope you find useful.

I present to you — 8 best countries for vapers [and 3 your deffo don’t wanna get stuck in].

Enjoy!

8 Vape-Friendly Countries You Should Visit
I want to start this off with a lil old caveat — vaping laws change overnight. And while I’d like to say that they change for the better… usually, that’s not the case. From country laws [mostly concerned with nicotine consumption and kids and young adults] to local laws [mostly around where you can vape — it’s not uncommon in the United States for cities and districts to draw up their own rules], things are not settled yet.

So before you decide on traveling somewhere, make sure to double-check if anything’s changed.

The United Kingdom
More specifically, England – the most vape friendly country in Europe by far. 
Ever since vaping was introduced to the world they have been very upfront with their thoughts about it. They are actively supporting the vaping industry and understand its benefits. 

The National Health Service of England was involved in direct research that compares vaping and cigarettes, earning themselves support from the government as well.

During your visit, you are free to vape almost anywhere. Do, however, try to avoid vaping in the car if all windows are closed. It could get you into trouble. This one is a no-brainer, but the accumulation of clouds could easily impair your vision. While in the moving vehicle it can be dangerous. 

Russia
If you are planning on visiting this beautiful country, you’re in for a treat.

Well-known for its rich religious, cultural, and ballet history, Russia is also pretty blaze when it comes to vaping… thanks to a culture in which smoking is not as much of a taboo as elsewhere.

There are no strict laws regarding vaping, you can do it whenever and wherever. Russia’s federal government is very open-minded and straightforward with it. You are allowed to vape in public spaces, and inside some business establishments [bars and restaurants] as well.

Sweden
As a country that has a strong opinion and opposes smoking cigarettes, Sweden has accepted vaping as a viable alternative. They are well aware that quitting can be rough, and not something that is done in a day. The Swedish government, Similar to the UK, agreed with their scientists. They promote vaping as a more health-conscious choice than smoking traditional cigarettes.

With that in mind, you are free to use your e-cigarettes everywhere. Another great thing is that you won’t have any trouble with customs if you bring your own vape juice into the country — which you should consider since their vape shops are helluva expensive.
