Burkina Faso does not have specific laws regulating vaping and e-cigarettes. While vaping is not explicitly banned, it is advised to use e-cigarettes only in private places and avoid vaping in public.
There are no clear age restrictions for vaping, but since the minimum legal age for tobacco use is 18 years, this rule might apply to vaping as well. Some sources (Mister Vape, UK) suggest that certain shops sell vaping products, but since vaping is relatively new in the country, availability may be limited. Travelers are thus advised to bring enough supply to last their entire trip after making sure they are permitted to carry vaping products for personal use.
Overall, while vaping is not heavily regulated in Burkina Faso, users should be mindful of public perception and ensure they have everything they need before traveling.
