The little-known vaping rules that could see Christmas travellers fined up to £5000
Summary
With millions of Brits travelling abroad for the holidays, experts warn of potentially hefty fines for unknowingly breaking vaping laws in other countries. Regulations vary significantly; some destinations like Singapore and Thailand completely ban vaping, while others, such as Cyprus and Hungary, impose fines of up to £744 and £732 respectively for public use. Vape Club director Dan Merchant stresses the importance of researching local laws before travelling. Additionally, vaping is prohibited on UK flights, carrying a potential £5000 fine and airline ban. Travellers are advised to bring their own devices and supplies to countries where vaping is permitted and to pack batteries in carry-on luggage due to airline restrictions on lithium batteries in checked baggage.
