Yes, you can fly to Finland with a vape pen in your carry-on bag. Vaping is legal for adults, but Finland has some of the strictest e-cigarette rules in Europe.

Can You Fly With a Vape Pen To Finland?

Rules and Regulations

Finland regulates e-cigarettes under its Tobacco Act (549/2016). Sales are allowed to adults 18 and older through licensed retailers.

E-liquid sold in Finland may only have a tobacco flavor, and its nicotine strength must be under 20 mg/ml.

Finnish Customs also limits how much nicotine liquid travelers can bring into the country. Check its traveler import rules before you pack extra bottles.

Security Measures

The TSA allows electronic smoking devices only in carry-on baggage, not in checked bags. A security officer may ask to inspect your device.

Carry On Options

Keep your vape, spare batteries and e-liquid in your carry-on. Liquids must follow the 3.4-ounce (100 ml) liquids rule.

Are Vape Pens Illegal in Finland?

Vaping Laws in Finland

No. Vape pens are legal in Finland for adults. According to the Tobacco Control Laws summary of Finland's Tobacco Act, the same restrictions that apply to smoking also apply to vaping.

Shops may not display e-cigarettes or e-liquids, except in outlets that sell almost only tobacco and vaping products. Most advertising is banned.

Penalties For Breaking Vaping Laws In Finland

Breaking Finland's smoking and vaping rules can lead to fines. We could not verify specific amounts, so follow posted signs and staff instructions.

Public Places Where Vaping Is Not Allowed

You can't vape in most public transport or in indoor places mainly used by people under 18, such as daycares and schools. Many indoor workplaces and public places ban it unless there is a designated smoking area.

Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane

Check with Your Airline

Check your airline's rules before you book. TSA notes that airlines may limit how many vaping devices each passenger can carry.

Rules at your destination and at any transit airport can be stricter than at home, so check those too.

Pack Your Pen Carefully

Pack your vape and any spare batteries in your carry-on bag, never in checked luggage. TSA limits each lithium-ion battery to 100 watt-hours, which covers almost all vape batteries.

Switch the device off or lock it so it can't fire by accident. Keep spare batteries in a case, away from keys and coins.

E-liquid in your carry-on follows the liquids rule: containers of 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less. Close tanks and pods tightly, since pressure changes in flight can make them leak.

Never Vape During the Flight

Never vape on the plane, including in the bathroom. Wait until you have left the terminal and are somewhere vaping is allowed.
