How old do you have to be to vape?

No one under the age of 18, or who does not already smoke combustible cigarettes, should buy or start using an e-cigarette or vape device.  

In the UK, it is illegal to sell vaping products to minors or to purchase them on behalf of an underage person. 

E-cigarettes are intended to be a cessation tool for adult smokers who are looking to switch away from combustible tobacco. Despite this, there are concerns about youth access and this is something the industry, led by the UK Vaping Industry Association, is actively working to address.
