Can you bring e-cigarettes or vapes to Turkey?

Short answer
Allowed, within limits

  • E-cigarettes

    allowed, within limits

    Presidential Decision No. 2149 (Resmi Gazete Issue 31050, 25 February 2020), Art. 1, bans commercial import of e-cigarettes and electronic hookahs outright, but Art. 2(2) explicitly authorizes the Ministry of Commerce to separately regulate traveler-accompanied entry of these goods. A Ministry of Commerce implementing circular is commonly cited elsewhere as setting the personal allowance at 1 device plus 30ml of e-liquid, or 10 disposable devices.

    The decree itself (directly fetched and quoted) only establishes that a personal-traveler exception exists and delegates it to the Ministry of Commerce — the specific 1-device/30ml figures come from secondary sources describing that ministry's implementing circular, not the decree text itself.
