Can you use heated tobacco in public?
The use of e-cigarettes and heated tobacco in public places is regulated by the Law on Tobacco and Similar Products. In many public places, both indoors and outdoors, smoking is prohibited, which means you cannot use heated tobacco devices. Here, we explain the applicable rules.
Heated Tobacco in Public Spaces - Outdoors
The outdoor smoking ban applies to entrances of premises and areas accessible to the public, such as hospitals, bus and train stations, restaurants, shops, and government buildings.
In addition, specific outdoor environments are designated smoke-free:
-
Outdoor seating areas
-
Areas near public transport, such as train platforms
-
Enclosed outdoor sports facilities
-
Playgrounds that are accessible to the public
In these areas, you are not allowed to use heated tobacco devices, e-cigarettes, or cigarettes.
Heated Tobacco in Public Spaces - Indoors
The smoking ban applies to the following indoor environments:
-
Premises intended for childcare and school activities, including outdoor schoolyards and similar areas at preschools and daycare centers
-
Healthcare facilities
-
Common areas in residential buildings and facilities providing special services or care
-
Means of domestic public transport, including associated indoor and outdoor areas
-
Restaurants and other dining establishments
-
Premises for public gatherings or events
-
Other public areas accessible to the general public, such as shops
When it comes to using heated tobacco in public, or any other smoke-free alternative, you should always be aware of the rules. We recommend checking local guidelines in advance—if you are still unsure, it's best to wait until you are certain that it is permitted.
Vaping in Public Places
The smoking ban also applies to vaping in public spaces. Just like with heated tobacco, we recommend always checking the rules before using an e-cigarette.

IQOS Smoke-Free Products
The IQOS range offers a smoke-free alternative to cigarettes and continued smoking. IQOS uses the latest smoke-free technology, heat-not-burn technology, to heat the tobacco instead of burning it, allowing you to experience the flavor of tobacco without the fire, ash, and cigarette smoke odor.
You can find IQOS heated tobacco devices in our online store. For those with more questions about IQOS, check out our FAQ page where we answer the most popular questions.
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.
