En Finlandia, los cigarrillos electrónicos están permitidos bajo un marco regulatorio específico. Se prohíbe su venta por internet y a través de máquinas expendedoras, y no se permiten afirmaciones sobre beneficios para la salud relacionadas con su uso. El país aplica un impuesto especial a los cigarrillos electrónicos, que equivale hasta el 10% del gravamen aplicado a los cigarrillos tradicionales. Fabricantes e importadores deben presentar una notificación del producto antes de comercializar nuevos artículos. Todos los cigarrillos electrónicos deben venderse en envases resistentes a niños y a manipulaciones indebidas, y deben incluir advertencias sanitarias visibles en el embalaje. La venta está restringida a personas mayores de 18 años. Entre otras exigencias, se establece una concentración máxima de nicotina de 20 mg/ml y un límite de capacidad del depósito de 2 ml o menos. Además, se limitan los sabores permitidos y está prohibido legalmente el uso de cigarrillos electrónicos en espacios públicos. Hasta 2023, había aproximadamente 46,500 usuarios actuales de cigarrillos electrónicos en Finlandia, lo que representa el 1% de la población adulta. La prevalencia diaria de vapeo entre adultos se situaba en un 0,7%. El 17% de los adultos declaró haber probado alguna vez los cigarrillos electrónicos (según datos de 2017). Información de 2021 muestra que el 1% de las mujeres adultas y el 3% de los hombres adultos eran usuarios actuales de cigarrillos electrónicos. Según datos de percepción pública de 2017, la mayoría de los finlandeses considera que los cigarrillos electrónicos son perjudiciales: el 81% cree que son igual de dañinos o más dañinos que los cigarrillos convencionales, el 11% los considera menos perjudiciales y el 8% manifestó no estar seguro.
