Is vaping in public legal?
The popularity of e-cigarettes and heated tobacco has increased over the past few years, and many adult smokers have chosen to quit smoking cigarettes. However, there are several regulations you need to be aware of when it comes to using vapes and heated tobacco in public spaces.
What is a public place?
A public place can be defined as a place that is open and accessible to everyone. It can be indoors, such as a train station, a museum, or a shopping mall, or outdoors, such as a park or a street. When it comes to vaping in public spaces, the exact rules and regulations depend on the country you are in.
In Sweden, vaping and the use of heated tobacco are regulated by the Law on Tobacco and Similar Products, which means they are banned in certain public spaces.

Avoid Smoke Odor with IQOS
When a cigarette burns, it can reach temperatures of up to 800 degrees Celsius, releasing smoke that smells bad and can linger in the surroundings. IQOS is an alternative to smoking that uses HeatControl technology instead of combustion. The tobacco is heated in a controlled manner to a temperature below 350 degrees Celsius, producing vapor instead of tobacco smoke. This means you get the authentic tobacco taste and nicotine without fire, ash, and the problem of lingering smoke odor..
