Travelling Brits warned – vaping in these countries could land you in jail | The Sun

VAPING Brits would face jail time up to 10 years in some holiday hotspots around the world.

Vape pod retailer Vape Club has recently revealed where holidaymakers need to be careful next time they travel abroad.

Lots of destinations are enforcing fines for people caught vaping.

This includes Singapore, with fines up to £1,200.

Brits on holiday in Spain may find themselves caught out too – beaches in Barcelona and the Costa del Sol could be fined €2,000 (£1,719) due to a smoking ban.

Dan Marchant, director of Vape Club, said: "Even as the popularity of vaping increases around the world, the laws surrounding it are constantly changing, so travellers really need up-to-date advice before going anywhere. 

"It's imperative that any vaper looks into the country’s vaping laws before they go ahead and book their holiday to avoid running in to a difficult situation.

"If you have booked trip to a country where vaping is banned, it is best not to risk a fine or worse being chucked in a cell."

Here are some of the holiday hotspots you could face prison time if caught vaping.
