Level Contributor Hi These are becoming much more common and we were stopped at customs coming into Dubai as both my husband and I had one in our hand luggage.A police/security man was called over and apparently they are illegal (I suppose because they are nicotine, which is the same derivative as SSRI's, antidepressants).I hadn't thought about this before taking them.Anyway, we were allowed through with them and I just thought it worth letting people know.of Oldest first Newest first 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 » Level Contributor They are illegal and will probably just be confiscated at customs if they are found (although in your case the let you keep them).A bit more info on e-cigarettes in the UAE here: /news/gulf/uae/health/e-cigarett… Level Contributor Try these instead, /bubble-gum-cigarettes.htm Edited: 4:30 am, June 19, 2013 Level Contributor iamangel...so what did you do without your ecigs...bought a pack of Marlboro instead?

I stopped smoking 6 months ago but would not have managed without ecigs....patches, gums don't really work.Level Contributor Fortunately, they let us through with them.I am trying to stop and am now a little concerned that next time we go, if they are taking off me, what I will do as the patches, etc don't do it for me either and to go back to proper cigs would be heartbreaking...... Level Contributor For some reason the supply of finely ground German snuff has become unavailable in the US.You can probably get it in the UK.As an alternative, I simply pop one of those small Dutch dried cigars in my mouth for the flight over.No need to light it.Once I get to Europe I get a supply of the snuff.One pinch of that will keep you going for a loooong time.Level Contributor Surely they wont ban these lol lol ebay.co.uk/itm/… -:- /pages/forums_posting_guidelines.htmlOur staff may also remove posts that do not follow our posting guidelines, and we reserve the right to remove any post for any reason.

So no Dubia for me and my family.Gave up smoking 6 months ago after 32 years of smoking, due to e-cigs, nothing else ever worked for me.It seems that the banned is to promote the governments policy on not smoking, since e-cigs can contain nicotine.So advert your eyes when passing through the duty free at the Dubai Airport - All the tobacco products - cigarettes.cigars, rolling tobacco are just an illusion or should we say a mirage.One destination mentioned in this post 1 Dubai Airport Level Contributor Yes, and bizarrely it's the nicotine in them that is the issue.Level Contributor E-cigarettes are banned in many countries./electronic-cigarette… One part of the problem is the legal status of e-cigarettes and refills.Key is also to protect the income of tobacco duties and less public health.The other part is the lack of control of the substances and delivery system of e-cigarettes.The problem goes further to non-nicotine e-cigarettes.i was over there a month ago and i took my E cigarettes with me.

my hand luggage was X rayed at dubai arrivals and they found them.ipleaded ignorance and thry confiscated and destroyed the lot Level Contributor I didn't realise this at all, my other half is a heavy e-cig user and we are going in 3 weeks!What tobacco replacement products are available in Dubai?I'm very worried about this because I really don't want him going back to the cigarettes and I know he really wouldn't like to either.Phoned the embassy but they weren't able to help... Are there any similar products available out there?The Nicorette Vapouriser or similar?Level Contributor You phoned the Embassy??!!Level Contributor Determination is what's required.No use swapping one habit for another.Level Contributor Yep, phoned the UAE Embassy in Dublin just to find out as I read on another website that they had advised travellers previously that it was ok to take them for personal use!Unfortunately when I rang they said they didn't know anything about it and I should contact my airline....who told me to ring the embassy......... Determination is indeed what's required but it's easy for me to say that as I don't use them!

Again, does anyone know what cigarette replacement products are available in Dubai?One destination mentioned in this post 1 Dublin Level Contributor Part of the challenge is that cigarettes are so cheap in Dubai - around £11 for 200 - and yet the UAE government claims to have banned e-cigarettes as it is against their anti smoking policy and may encourage people to smoke ??I don't know of any other cigarette replacement products in Dubai but then I've never looked.I've done a search on Boots in the UAE and cannot find any tobacco replacement products - the only other thing I can think of is to ask someone that lives there to look, so I'll try that.of Oldest first Newest first « 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 » Abu Dhabi or not?Buy diamond in Dubai or online Silver jewelry shop in Dubai 17 hours between DXB and AUH See All Dubai Conversations Do Australians need a visa?What is the best area to stay in Dubai besides the Burj?
