In Ivory Coast, vaping is allowed and regulated as a tobacco product, rather than as a consumer or medicinal product. The sale and import of both vape devices and nicotine are legal, and products are marketed in the country. However, buying vape devices or nicotine online for personal use is not permitted. Vaping regulations include a complete ban on advertising, while marketing is still regulated. Additionally, new vaping products must be notified before entering the market, and health warnings are required on packaging. The minimum age for purchasing vape products is 18 years. There are also legal restrictions on vaping in public places, so users should be mindful of where they vape. However, there are no specific limits on nicotine content in e-liquids. Overall, while vaping is legal and regulated, it falls under tobacco laws, with restrictions on advertising, public use, and online purchases.
