Despite Longstanding Ban, Vaping Continues Across Cambodia
Despite Cambodia's bans on electronic cigarettes since 2014, the circulation of vapes persists due to weak enforcement, creating concerns over youth addiction and public health risks. Despite a reinforced ban in October 2025, illicit trading continues, with recent seizures and arrests. Analysts emphasize that strict enforcement and community involvement are crucial to combat the issue. E-cigarettes are particularly harmful to youth, with nicotine impacting brain development and causing organ damage. Coordinated government actions are needed to eliminate vaping, including blocking imports and tightening online advertising controls. Parents and communities are urged to discourage vape use and report illegal sales.
