About Vaping Liquids
Vaping liquids (e-liquids) are subject to both tobacco and liquid transport regulations. For carry-on, each container must be β€100ml and placed in a clear quart-sized bag. Larger bottles can go in checked luggage. Some countries ban nicotine-containing e-liquids entirely. Store liquids in leak-proof containers and keep them in original packaging with labels showing ingredients and nicotine content.

β More Questions
I'm flying from the UK to Italy β which allowance applies?
The non-EU allowance: 200 cigarettes or equivalent. Since Brexit the UK counts as a third country, so the generous 800-cigarette EU limit no longer applies to arrivals from Britain.
Can my family pool their tobacco allowances?
No. Allowances are per person aged 17 or over and cannot be combined. Two adults can each carry 200 cigarettes; a 15-year-old has no tobacco allowance at all.
