Are puff bars and disposable vapes illegal in Denmark?
Disposable e-cigarettes and Danish rules
Short answer
18+ topic. Danish law treats disposable e-cigarettes such as puff bars as e-cigarettes, so they follow the same rules. They may not have a characterising flavour other than tobacco or menthol, so fruit, sweet and candy flavours are not allowed. The nicotine liquid may contain at most 20 mg/ml, and the device may hold at most 2 ml of liquid. A puff bar with a fruit flavour or a larger tank cannot be sold legally in Denmark.
Why
- Puff bars count as e-cigarettes.
- Fruit and candy flavours are not allowed.
- The tank may hold at most 2 ml.
Details
Selling e-cigarettes, with or without nicotine, is not allowed at schools and other places of education.
Tip
Check the flavour, the mg/ml figure and the ml figure on the pack before you buy.
What may differ
The rules for e-cigarettes, including disposable ones, have been amended several times and can change again.
Common misconception
A common belief is that disposable vapes are completely banned in Denmark.
What actually happens
They are not banned as a type, but they must meet the flavour, nicotine and volume limits.
