Vaping in Cambodia & Vietnam

Post by marcus Welby »

Hi all.

I have been checking online about vaping ib Cambodia & Vietnam, and the answers are hard to find with any certainty, so can I ask you guys

on the ground is it safe to vape, or is it a gray area? Can you get into trouble with the authorities over vaping? Obvs will respect the laws over there, but

it seems crazy that vaping could be illegal out there, and who wants hassle over such a trivial thing?

Many thanks in advance for your input.

Haven't 6 people just died recently from vaping?
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

that was down to contaminated oil being sold & used, as far as I know. Contaminated food could do the same.

There doesn't seem to be any regulations regarding vaping, smoking or hookahs in Vietnam.

There are vape shops as well.

There's even some details on the information superhighway:

I may be going to hell in a bucket,
but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

Do what you want anywhere, but just keep some cash ready in your pocket.

Vape all you want in your own hotel room. Don’t bring that to public thinking people are impressed by your giant strawberry smelling cloud. It’s disgusting.

I discreetly vape and have for over a year. apparently on paper, it's illegal but like most things here not enforced. I would not risk vaping in front of a police officer though. surely you'd be subject to paying a "fine".

the 6 US deaths were from juices with THC (weed) not regular e-juice. Either way, how many deaths have there been from cigarettes? only 6 from vaping! isn't that proof enough how much safer vaping is? I sure hope politicians use their brains and not listen to powerful lobbyists.
Still here, in country...
