The Embassy of Japan in Vietnam is cautioning that the use of electronic cigarettes and heat-not-burn tobacco products could be subject to penalties in Vietnam.
This comes after reports that the Vietnamese National Assembly has approved a resolution prohibiting the production, trading, importing, storing, transporting, and use of electronic cigarettes and heat-not-burn tobacco products.
Starting January 1, 2025, individuals who use, manufacture, transport, or store such products could face fines, administrative penalties, or criminal charges depending on the situation. The use of electronic cigarettes, for instance, could result in warnings or fines ranging from 1 million to 2 million VND. Transportation, storage, and manufacturing cases could face even heavier fines and criminal penalties, hence a caution is also issued for those bringing them into the country from abroad.
