In Eritrea, there are no specific laws regulating vaping. However, this does not necessarily mean there are no restrictions on its use.
Travelers are encouraged to check whether they can bring vaping products for personal use and are discouraged from vaping in public places. Since vaping products may not be widely available in the country, it is advised to bring a sufficient supply if needed.
If you have more information on vaping and e-cigarettes in Eritrea, based on your firsthand experience, please email GSTHR team.
