Can you fly with a vape pen to Pakistan? Here are the airline rules and what we could verify about Pakistan's vaping laws.

Can You Fly With a Vape Pen To Pakistan?

Vaping Regulations in Pakistan

The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids legal database found no national law regulating e-cigarettes in Pakistan when it last reviewed the country in August 2020.

That means sale and use were not specifically restricted at the time, and there was no minimum age for buying e-cigarettes.

Laws can change, and that review is several years old. Check with Pakistan's embassy before you travel.

Transporting E-Cigarettes Internationally

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

Spare lithium batteries must also stay in the cabin, with the terminals covered so they can't short-circuit.

You can't vape or charge your device on the plane. The FAA says these rules are the same on domestic and international flights.

At US airports, e-liquid bottles in your carry-on must be 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less and fit in your quart-sized liquids bag.

Check the liquids rule at every airport on your route, including the one you fly home from.

Conclusion

You can fly to Pakistan with a vape pen in your carry-on, as long as you keep it switched off and don't use or charge it on the plane.

The UK government warns that Pakistan has strict customs rules, so declare anything you're unsure about.

Are Vape Pens Illegal in Pakistan?

Not as of the latest review we found. In 2020, Pakistan had no national law addressing the sale, use, advertising or packaging of e-cigarettes.

We couldn't verify any city or provincial bans, so ask locally before you vape in public.

Penalties for Possession

We found no national law that penalizes adults for possessing a vape in Pakistan.

Rules may have changed since 2020, so confirm with Pakistan's embassy before you travel.

Where Can You Buy Vape Pens?

Pakistan did not restrict e-cigarette sales in the 2020 review, but we can't confirm which products or shops are available today.

If you rely on a particular device or e-liquid, bring what you need in your carry-on.

Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane

Research Your Destination

Check the vaping laws of every country on your route, including any you only connect through. Some countries ban vapes outright.

Follow Airport Regulations

The TSA limits each lithium ion battery to 100 Wh, which covers ordinary vape batteries.

Switch the device off or lock it so it can't fire in your bag. The TSA requires steps to prevent accidental activation.

If your carry-on is checked at the gate, take your vape and spare batteries out first.

Be Prepared

Keep spare batteries in a battery case or their retail packaging so the terminals can't touch keys, coins or each other.

Vaping is banned on board commercial flights, and you can't charge your vape on the plane either.
