What UAE law requires

Under Federal Law No. 15 of 2009 on Tobacco Control, selling tobacco or nicotine products, including e-cigarettes and vaping devices, to anyone under 18 is an offence in the UAE. The law also requires nicotine product packaging to carry an 18+ symbol and a warning that the product is prohibited for those under 18 and not recommended for non-smokers. You can read the executive regulations on the official UAE Legislation portal.

How we verify age

  • At entry: an age gate asks you to confirm you are 18 or older before viewing the store.
  • At delivery: our driver may request valid photo identification (Emirates ID, passport, or driving licence) before handing over the order.
  • If age cannot be confirmed: the order may be refused at the door and returned, and we reserve the right to cancel any order where we reasonably believe the buyer is underage.

A note for parents and guardians

If you share a device or home network with anyone under 18, please prevent them from accessing this site, and keep any purchased products securely stored and out of reach. For safe-use and health information, see our Responsible Vaping / Health Disclaimer.
