W Zjednoczonych Emiratach Arabskich e-papierosy są dozwolone i objęte regulacjami. Sprzedaż urządzeń do wapowania oraz nikotyny jest legalna, a zakup nie wymaga recepty. Produkty do wapowania są reklamowane i dostępne zarówno online, jak i stacjonarnie, zgodnie z informacjami podanymi w niektórych źródłach internetowych. Minimalny wiek uprawniający do zakupu wynosi 18 lat, a stosowanie e-papierosów podlega pewnym ograniczeniom w miejscach publicznych; zaleca się więc, aby nie używać ich na przykład w placówkach edukacyjnych oraz w obiektach ochrony zdrowia.
