💨 E-Cigarettes

Vaping is allowed in Algeria, and e-cigarette shops are available for those who want to buy devices and e-liquids. While vape products are marketed, advertising is restricted, meaning companies have limits on how they promote these products. There are also rules against vaping in public places, so users should avoid vaping in such areas to respect local regulations. However, there isn’t much information available about how common vaping is in the country. In summary, while vaping is legal in Algeria, it comes with certain restrictions, especially on advertising and public use.
