No. Iran's health ministry bans the production, distribution, supply and use of e-cigarettes, and several governments advise against all travel to Iran.

Can You Fly With a Vape Pen To Iran?

Flying to Iran

Check travel advisories first. The UK government advises against all travel to Iran, and British and dual nationals face a significant risk of arrest or detention.

Airline rules would put a vape in your carry-on only, never in checked bags, but Iran's own rules make bringing one a bad idea.

Vaping Regulations In Iran

A Ministry of Health and Medical Education letter (No. 300/7432) bans the production, distribution, supply and consumption of e-cigarettes in Iran.

Because use itself is banned, a vape in your luggage can cause problems at customs and afterward.

Conclusion

Leave your vape at home if you are traveling to Iran.

Are Vape Pens Illegal in Iran?

Vaping Regulations

Yes. Iran bans e-cigarettes through its health ministry, covering supply as well as use.

Nicotine replacement products such as patches or gum are a safer choice if you need nicotine while traveling.

Penalties For Violating Vaping Laws

We could not confirm the specific penalties for vaping in Iran.

Drug laws are a different and far more serious matter. Penalties for importing and possessing drugs are severe and enforced, and foreign nationals have been executed for drug offenses, so never bring THC or cannabis products.

Conclusion

Vaping is banned in Iran. Don't bring a vape pen, e-liquid or any cannabis product.

Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane

These tips apply to trips where vaping is legal at your destination, not to Iran.

Pack It in Your Carry-On

Vapes and spare batteries belong in your carry-on bag or on your person, never in checked luggage.

If the airline takes your carry-on at the gate to check it, remove the vape and any spare batteries first.

Stop It From Firing

Switch the device off or lock it so the heating element can't activate in your bag.

Carry spare batteries in a case so the terminals can't touch keys, coins or other metal.

Pack E-Liquid With Your Toiletries

E-liquid counts as a liquid at security, so each bottle has to meet the 3.4 oz (100 ml) carry-on limit at most airports.

Pressure changes in flight can push liquid out of a tank, so travel with tanks empty or sealed in a plastic bag.

Don't Vape or Charge on Board

Vaping is not allowed on commercial flights, including in the restroom, and you shouldn't charge the device on the plane.

Leave THC at Home

Never travel internationally with THC or cannabis vapes. Cannabis is still illegal under US federal law, and many countries punish it severely.
