In Bahrain, e-cigarettes and vaping products are allowed but regulated as tobacco products. While advertising is strictly controlled and banned in some cases, the sale, import, and marketing of vaping products and nicotine are permitted. Individuals can legally buy vaping products online for personal use without a prescription. However, there are legal restrictions on vaping in public places. Travelers can normally bring their vape devices and e-liquids in their carry-on luggage, but it is advised to check with the airline before traveling to avoid any issues.
