W Niemczech e-papierosy są legalne i podlegają regulacjom jako wyroby tytoniowe. Sprzedaż internetowa e-papierosów jest dozwolona, a produkty te są szeroko dostępne w sklepach detalicznych. Zakazana jest jednak sprzedaż e-papierosów za pośrednictwem automatów, a promowanie ich poprzez oświadczenia zdrowotne nie jest dozwolone. Reklama e-papierosów również podlega ograniczeniom. Niemcy nakładają akcyzę na e-papierosy, która wynosi do 10% wysokości podatków nakładanych na tradycyjne papierosy. Kraj ten utrzymuje szczegółowe ramy regulacyjne dotyczące produkcji i sprzedaży e-papierosów. W związku z tym wymagane jest zgłoszenie nowych produktów przed wprowadzeniem ich na rynek, a opakowania muszą być odporne na otwarcie przez dzieci i zabezpieczone przed manipulacją. Na wszystkich opakowaniach muszą być umieszczone wyraźne ostrzeżenia zdrowotne. Sprzedaż dozwolona jest wyłącznie osobom, które ukończyły 18 lat, a maksymalne dopuszczalne stężenie nikotyny wynosi 20 mg/ml. Zgodnie z przepisami UE, pojemność zbiornika nie może przekraczać 2 ml. Obecnie nie ma ograniczeń dotyczących wyboru smaków, jednak korzystanie z e-papierosów jest zabronione w niektórych miejscach publicznych. Według danych z 2023 roku w Niemczech odnotowano około 1,4 miliona osób aktualnie używających e-papierosów, co stanowi 2% dorosłej populacji. Wskaźnik aktualnego używania e-papierosów przez dorosłych wynosił 3,3% wśród kobiet i 4,5% wśród mężczyzn, natomiast codzienne używanie deklarowało 0,6%. Dla porównania, w 2017 roku około 12% dorosłych przyznało, że choć raz próbowało e-papierosów. Według danych dotyczących opinii publicznej z tego samego roku 54% respondentów uznało e-papierosy za szkodliwe lub bardziej szkodliwe niż tradycyjne papierosy, 32% uważało je za mniej szkodliwe, a 14% nie miało zdania.
