En Eslovenia, los cigarrillos electrónicos son legales y están disponibles para la venta, aunque existen ciertas restricciones respecto a su comercialización y uso. Los consumidores pueden adquirirlos en puntos de venta convencionales, pero no está permitido venderlos por internet ni a través de máquinas expendedoras. No se permiten declaraciones de salud relacionadas con los cigarrillos electrónicos y la publicidad está totalmente prohibida. Desde el punto de vista regulatorio, Eslovenia aplica un conjunto de controles exhaustivos similares a los establecidos para el tabaco tradicional, que incluyen la notificación obligatoria de productos, envases a prueba de niños y advertencias sanitarias en el embalaje. La edad mínima para comprar estos productos es de 18 años, existen limitaciones con respecto a los sabores, el contenido de nicotina no puede superar los 20 mg/ml y la capacidad de los depósitos está restringida a 2 ml como máximo. Además, el vapeo está prohibido en lugares públicos. Los cigarrillos electrónicos están sujetos a impuestos especiales de hasta el 10% de los que se aplican a los cigarrillos convencionales. En 2023, había aproximadamente 52.400 vapeadores en Eslovenia. La prevalencia de vapeo actual en adultos fue del 3% en general, 0,8% entre las mujeres y 1,8% entre los hombres. La prevalencia de vapeo diario en adultos en 2023 fue del 1,7%, siendo del 0,4% entre las mujeres y del 0,9% entre los hombres en 2021. Según una encuesta sobre la percepción pública realizada en 2017, la mayoría (65%) de los adultos en Eslovenia consideraba que los cigarrillos electrónicos son igual de dañinos o más dañinos que los cigarrillos tradicionales, mientras que el 22% los percibía como menos perjudiciales y el 13% no tenía una opinión al respecto.
