It is legal to sell and use e-cigarettes in Barbados. In January 2017 the Barbados Parliament passed the Health Service Amendment Bill 2017, which classifies e-cigarettes as electronic smoking devices and extends the prohibition on smoking in public places to e-cigarettes.

Yes, you are permitted to bring vapes (e-cigarettes) to Barbados for personal use, but you must strictly adhere to the island's regulatory framework. As of 2026, vapes and nicotine products are legal to possess and use if you are over the age of 18, but vaping is strictly prohibited in public places, including parks, beaches, and street sidewalks, under the same laws that govern traditional tobacco smoking. When traveling, you must pack your vape device and batteries in your carry-on luggage, as lithium batteries are a fire hazard and are banned from checked bags by international aviation authorities. E-liquids should be placed in your clear, quart-sized "liquids bag" for security screening. While you can find local shops in Barbados that sell devices and nicotine refills, there are no restrictions on the flavor range or nicotine content for personal imports. However, it is always wise to check with your specific airline for any additional boarding rules, and be mindful that using your vape in a hotel room may trigger a "smoke cleaning fee" unless specifically permitted by the property.
