E-cigarettes are allowed in Barbados with a certain regulary framework. They are legal to buy online and legal to sell, although health claims are not permitted. Moreover, health warnings on packaging are not required, and there are no restrictions on flavour range or nicotine content. However, sales are restricted to individuals aged 18 years and above, and e-cigarette use in public places is banned.
