Vaping Regulations for Barbados

Barbados allows the sale of e-cigarettes, with a minimum sales age and limits on vending machine sales, according to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids' legal database.

Bringing Your Vape Pen On The Plane

The flight is the easy part. Airlines allow vape pens in carry-on bags or on your person, never in checked luggage.

The FAA says vapes must stay in the cabin and must never be used or charged on the aircraft.

The TSA adds that each lithium-ion battery must be 100 watt-hours or less, and you must stop the device from switching on by accident.

Vaping Etiquette When You Arrive

Barbados' Health Services (Smoking) Regulations 2017 count vaping as smoking. So you can't vape in indoor public places, workplaces or on public transport.

Covered or partly enclosed spaces can count as indoor, so step fully outside before you vape.

Are Vape Pens Illegal in Barbados?

Vape Pen Laws in Barbados

No. Vape pens are legal in Barbados. Ads can't promote e-cigarettes as a safe alternative to smoking.

Illegal Substances Not Allowed In Vapes

Cannabis laws are separate from vape laws. Don't bring THC or cannabis vape products unless you've confirmed they are legal for you to carry.

Vapes are for adult smokers, not for non-smokers or anyone underage. In the US, federal Tobacco 21 law has banned selling e-cigarettes to anyone under 21 since December 2019.

Tips for Bringing a Vape Pen on a Plane

With a bit of preparation, flying with a vape pen is simple. Here are some tips:

Do Your Research: Barbados allows vapes but bans them wherever smoking is banned. Check the law for every country where you change planes before you pack a vape.

Pack Smartly: Keep your vape and any spare batteries in your carry-on. Switch the device off or lock it, and store spare batteries in a case so the terminals can't touch metal.

Be Courteous & Respectful: There is no vaping on commercial flights, and you can't charge a vape on board either.
