Tunisia Background
Data sourced: 2025.   Page updated: 2025-02-23

In Tunisia, there is no specific or clear law regulating e-cigarettes. According to Mistervapeuk (@mistervape.co.uk), vaping is not outright banned, but regulations remain unclear, putting it in a legal grey area.
As of 2022, there were approximately 100,000 vapers in Tunisia. While there is no official minimum age restriction for vaping, most vendors apply an 18-year minimum age for sales.
E-cigarettes and nicotine products are legally available for sale, and purchasing without a prescription is allowed. However, health warnings on packaging are required. Tourists can bring vapes for personal use and purchase them within the country. However, while there are no clear rules on public vaping, visitors are encouraged to avoid vaping in public and religious places to prevent any issues.
