Are Vapes Legal in the Netherlands?
Although vaping and e-cigarette products are legal in the Netherlands, there has been a ban in place since 2023 on the sale and importation of all flavoured e-liquid. Tobacco-flavoured e-liquids are the only available vape juices to buy.
According to the GSTHR, 23.4% of the Netherlands’ adult population are cigarette smokers, with only 1% of vapers since the flavour ban. Although you’re able to import a small amount of flavoured e-liquid for personal use, you won’t be able to repurchase it while in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands follow strict vaping rules, with vape packaging needing harm information on display, similar to cigarettes. For more information on the legality of vapes abroad, check out this blog!
Do Supermarkets in the Netherlands Sell Vapes?
Unlike the UK, the Dutch government’s proposal to limit the use of nicotine products has meant that you will not find any vaping products in supermarkets as of 2024. Instead, you’ll need to locate specialist shops allowed to sell vapes and tobacco products.
The Dutch Government’s Stance on Vaping
Recent government discourse has caused outrage in the vaping industry, with the state secretary, Vincent Karreman, comparing the use of vapes to the addiction of class A drugs. The World Vape Alliance have clapped back, condemning the announcement as spreading false and harmful information.
At Vapoholic, we’re strong advocates for switching from smoking to vaping- after all, the UK government have reported that vaping is 95% safer than smoking cigarettes. While we support all things harm reduction, we also support the use of vaping to cut down on cigarettes.
