Jul.29.2022
Panama bans sales and imports of all e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products, with penalties for use in no-smoking zones.

According to reports, the President of Panama recently approved a bill that will ban the sale and importation of all electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products.


As early as 2014, Panama began banning the sale of electronic cigarettes. It has been reported that the law does not classify the use of electronic cigarettes as a criminal offense, but rather prohibits its use in places where smoking is not allowed. Additionally, online purchases of electronic cigarettes are also prohibited, and customs officials have the authority to inspect, seize, and confiscate electronic cigarette products.
