A government circular from 2014 (No. 001/14 Sor.Nor.No.NACD) issued by the National Authority for Combatting Drugs bans the sale, importation and use of e-cigarettes. It requires all authorities to take action to "Terminate all forms of consumptions and sales of Shisha and e-cigarettes by confiscating those prohibited products" and to "Terminate and restrain all forms of the sales and imports". Officially all e-cigarettes found by authorities, in any situation, will be confiscated. However, reports have been received from travellers stating that they have not had problems taking e-cigarettes into the country for personal use, and using e-cigarettes in smoking-designated areas seems acceptable.
