Can You Fly With a Vape Pen To Lebanon?

Vaping Regulations in Lebanon

Vapes are legal in Lebanon. The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids' summary says retail sales are allowed, subject to Lebanon's tobacco control law.

Lebanese law counts e-cigarettes as tobacco products, so the same rules on where you can smoke apply to vaping.

Flying With Your Vape Pen To Lebanon

Airlines allow vapes in your carry-on bag or on your person, never in checked luggage. Spare batteries also go in your carry-on.

Never bring cannabis or other illegal drugs. Possessing even small amounts is a serious offense in Lebanon, punishable with prison.

Using Your Vape Pen While Visiting Lebanon

Vaping is banned in nearly all enclosed public places, enclosed workplaces and public transport. The outdoor areas of health, education and sports facilities must be smoke-free too.

Hotels may set aside some smoking rooms, so ask before you vape in your room.

Are Vape Pens Illegal in Lebanon?

General Information

No. E-cigarette sales are legal, and Lebanon's Ministry of Finance regulates how they are sold.

Tobacco advertising and promotion are mostly banned, and those limits apply to e-cigarettes too.

Where Are Vape Pens Legal?

The national law applies across the country. You can vape outdoors in most places, but not in the enclosed public places and facilities listed above.

During Ramadan, avoid eating, drinking or smoking in public in the daytime, and that includes vaping.

Conclusion

You can fly to Lebanon with a vape in your carry-on and use it as an adult where smoking is allowed. Check the latest travel advice before you go, as the UK government advises against travel to some areas.

Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane

Pack Smart:

Keep your vape and spare batteries in your carry-on, with batteries in a case so the terminals can't touch metal. Each lithium-ion battery must be 100 watt-hours or less.

Know the Rules:

The TSA allows vapes in carry-on bags only. The FAA says vapes must never be used or charged on the aircraft.

Be Prepared For Security Checks:

Carry e-liquid in bottles of 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less, inside your quart-size liquids bag. Expect your device to be screened.
