Can You Vape In Holiday Parks And Caravans
You usually cannot assume vaping is allowed inside a hired caravan, lodge, or holiday accommodation, and you also cannot assume it is allowed in indoor park facilities. A number of major UK holiday park operators explicitly ban smoking and vaping inside accommodation and inside buildings or facilities, while some provide designated outdoor smoking areas instead. Parkdean says smoking and the use of e cigarettes are not permitted inside any buildings or facilities on its parks and that all accommodation is non smoking, while Haven’s terms say there is no smoking...

This article is for adult vapers, smokers considering switching, and travellers who want to avoid falling out with a host or breaking booking terms by mistake. I have to be honest, this is one of those situations where people often assume vaping is fine because it is not the same as smoking, but Airbnb’s own guest rules make clear that “no smoking” can include e cigarettes,...

So the short answer is no, you should not vape on coaches and long distance buses in the UK. In my opinion, that is the safest rule to follow even before checking the exact operator, because the larger companies tend to be very clear.

This article is for adult vapers, smokers considering switching, and travellers who want to avoid breaking ship rules by mistake.

You Vape At Airports In The Can UK?
If you are flying soon and use a vape, one of the most useful questions to ask is whether you can actually vape at the airport before your flight. This article is for UK travellers, holidaymakers, and anyone who wants a clear answer before they arrive at security.

The short answer is that you usually cannot... Read more...
Can You Vape While Driving?
If you are wondering whether you can vape while driving in the UK, the short answer is yes in some situations, but that does not mean it is always safe or risk free in legal terms. This article is for adult vapers, smokers who use vapes instead of cigarettes, parents, and everyday drivers who want a clear explanation of what the law actually says. In my opinion, the easiest way to understand this is to separate two questions. One is whether vaping while driving is specifically banned. The other is... Read more...
Can You Vape On A Train?
So the practical short answer is no, you should not vape on a train in the UK. In my opinion, that is the safest rule to follow even before you check the specific operator, because most major operators treat vaping the same way they treat smoking while you are on board. Greater Anglia said in 2024 that trains and stations across the UK rail network are covered by no smoking laws banning smoking and vaping in enclosed public spaces, and Network Rail’s station policy extends the smoking approach to vaping...

Can You Take Vapes In Hand Luggage?
Yes, you can take vapes in hand luggage, and for battery safety reasons that is usually where they must go. UK government guidance says e cigarettes are allowed in hand luggage but not in hold luggage, while IATA passenger baggage rules also say electronic cigarettes and vapes must be carried in carry on baggage. In my opinion, that is the single most important rule to remember before you travel. The Short Answer If you are flying from the UK, your vape device should go in your hand luggage or be...
