Vaping Ban 

Vaping Ban

Brazil enforces a complete national ban on vaping, making it one of the strictest anti vaping jurisdictions in the world. Since 2009, ANVISA Resolution No. 46 has prohibited the manufacture, import, sale, distribution, storage, transportation, and advertising of all e-cigarettes and heated tobacco devices . In April 2024, ANVISA unanimously voted to maintain and reinforce this prohibition through RDC No. 855/2024, citing youth vaping trends, nicotine addiction risks, and the threat to Brazil's tobacco control achievements . The ban also extends to use in enclosed public places, as electronic smoking devices fall under Brazil's general smoke free laws .

Punishment

Travelers are not allowed to bring vapes into the country, and carrying them in luggage is explicitly prohibited, with devices subject to confiscation and violators potentially facing administrative penalties under federal health law enforcement . Despite the ban, an illicit market persists, prompting authorities to increase border inspections and seizures to curb illegal sales
