In the past ten years, e-cigarettes have grown rapidly to become the most popular category of tobacco consumption and the most common replacement product. And as it grows in popularity, it brought in a troublesome clientele of curious minors. Regulators and lawmakers have used a variety of strategies to keep electronic cigarette products away from teens, by far the most common being regulating the age at which e-cigarette products can be purchased.
As with alcohol, a mandatory minimum age for vaporizer sales is not a perfect solution, but it is the safest way to reduce which teen e-cigarettes vaping.
The legal age for e-cigarettes in countries around the world
With the exception of countries that ban e-cigarettes and those that do not have e-cigarette laws, most countries simply use the legal age of adulthood to set a minimum age for buying e-cigarette products.
Some countries have made a national age of consent for buying vaporizers,but allow states or provinces to set a higher age. For example: Canada’s legal age for e-cigarette is 18 years old, but most of provinces and districts made this legal age for e-cigarette is 19 years old.
In Australia, it is illegal to sell nicotine-containing vaping products, other than cigarettes, without a doctor’s prescription, but non-nicotine e-cigarettes are allowed, with the age of purchase varying by state.
And in the world’s largest e-cigarette market—United States, the legal age for e cigarette is 21 years old.
