Vape indoors - all you need to know
A vape is an electric cigarette that, instead of smoke, lets out a vapor which you inhale and exhale. Since the vapor does not stick to the indoor environment the way smoke does, you may use your vape indoors. However, it is forbidden to vape in many public places, for example within school grounds and in healthcare facilities.
Also, the same rules as for vaping indoors apply when using IQOS indoors. In this article you can read more about what the rules are.
Are you allowed to use your vape indoors?
Yes, you may use your vape indoors at private places. Ordinary cigarette smoke consists of thousands of particles and chemicals and has a pungent smell that sticks to hair, clothes, and the indoor environment. A vape, instead, creates a vapor whose smell differs depending on the taste that the e-liquid has, although this smell disappears after a few seconds. Remember to ask for permission if it is alright for you to vape indoors when you are visiting someone else’s home.
Vape indoors at public places
Vaping is included in the law of tobacco and similar products. This means that most public places do not allow you to use a vape indoors, this is something which you can read more about here. This law also applies to many public places outdoors, such as in connection to public transport, outdoor seating, and sports grounds.

Indoor vaping is allowed if it is in a private space. If it is a public space, vaping is prohibited in many places.
If you are vaping indoors in a public space where smoking is prohibited, the person in charge of the premises has the right to ask you to stop. If you do not stop, you can be forced to leave the place.
In some public spaces, such as restaurants, hospitals and schools, it is prohibited to vape indoors. This is regulated by the Act on Tobacco and Similar Products.
IQOS is an alternative to vaping
IQOS is an alternative to vapes and cigarettes. IQOS heats the tobacco to a controlled temperature instead of burning it, thus creating a vapour instead of smoke while still giving the taste of tobacco. IQOS is also regulated by the Tobacco and Similar Products Act, which means that the same rules apply to IQOS as to indoor vaping.
