Vaping Black Market: Oman Banned Sales Yet Vapers Keep Vaping
Selling e-cigarettes or vapor products has been illegal in Oman since a vape ban was instituted last December, but there is a brisk black market, fuelled by products brought into the country by travelers and internet purchases.
Oman is a monarchy with a population of 3.6 million on the Arabian Peninsula. It borders Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates, and boasts a long Persian Gulf coastline.
While vaping itself is legal, trade in vapor products is prohibited, according to the Times of Oman. The fine for illegally importing the products, or selling them in Oman, is $500 Omani Rial, about equal to $2,300. The fine is doubled for repeat offenses.
According to the Times story, the government is planning a study of how many Omanis vape. The answer is probably more than they think. Five minutes of internet searching was all it took to find connections to buy vape supplies in the country. And it’s likely that anyone fluent in Arabic would find even more resources.
Im confused if i can bring my vape im oman help pls
It depends on how u are going to get it and by what means
It seems to be prohibited, but many smuggle products in. We can’t advise you what to do. Please try to find an experienced user in Oman to help you.
