Age Policy

Last Updated: April 2026

vapdeals.ae is committed to full compliance with UAE law on the sale of tobacco, nicotine, and electronic cigarette products. The purchase and use of all products sold on this website is strictly restricted to individuals aged 18 years and above.

UAE LEGAL FRAMEWORK

The sale of vaping products, e-cigarettes, electronic shisha, nicotine pouches, and related products in the United Arab Emirates is governed by the following laws and regulations:

Federal Decree-Law No. 15 of 2009 on Tobacco Control — prohibits the sale of tobacco and nicotine products to persons under the age of 18.

Cabinet Decision No. 10 of 2019 on the Regulation of Electronic Cigarettes — specifically governs the import, sale, advertising, and use of electronic cigarettes and related products in the UAE, including age restrictions for purchase.

UAE Consumer Protection Law (Federal Law No. 15 of 2020) — requires businesses to ensure products are sold only to eligible consumers as defined by applicable law.

Under these laws, it is a criminal offence to sell or supply tobacco, nicotine, or electronic cigarette products to any person under the age of 18 in the UAE. vapdeals.ae takes this obligation seriously and enforces strict age verification at every stage of the purchase process.

OUR AGE VERIFICATION PROCESS

On the Website
All visitors to vapdeals.ae are required to confirm they are 18 years of age or older before accessing the site and its products. This confirmation is presented as an age gate upon first visit and is stored as a cookie on your device.

At Checkout
By completing a purchase on vapdeals.ae, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and legally permitted to purchase tobacco and nicotine products in the UAE. Providing a false age declaration is a violation of UAE law and our Terms of Service.

At Delivery
Our delivery partners are instructed to exercise reasonable judgement at the point of delivery. If a delivery driver has any reason to believe the recipient may be under 18, they are authorised to request a valid government-issued photo ID before handing over the order.

Accepted ID at delivery includes:

  • UAE Emirates ID
  • Valid passport
  • UAE driving licence

If valid ID cannot be produced or if the recipient appears to be under 18, the order will not be delivered. The order will be returned to our warehouse. No refund will be issued for orders returned due to failed age verification at delivery.

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PURCHASER

By placing an order on vapdeals.ae, you confirm and warrant that:

  • You are at least 18 years of age
  • You are legally permitted to purchase nicotine and tobacco-related products under the laws of the UAE
  • You will not purchase products from vapdeals.ae on behalf of, or for the purpose of supplying to, any person under the age of 18
  • All information provided at checkout, including your name, address, and contact details, is accurate and truthful

Providing false information to circumvent our age verification process is a violation of UAE law and may result in your order being cancelled, your account being permanently banned, and the matter being referred to the relevant UAE authorities.

PARENTAL & GUARDIAN RESPONSIBILITY

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor in your care has accessed or purchased from vapdeals.ae, please contact us immediately at [your email address] or via WhatsApp. We will investigate and take appropriate action, including cancellation of any orders and reporting the matter if required under UAE law.

We strongly encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software to restrict minors from accessing age-restricted websites.

OUR COMMITMENT

vapdeals.ae does not market to, target, or encourage the use of vaping or nicotine products among minors. Our advertising, social media content, and marketing communications are directed exclusively at adults aged 18 and above. We do not use imagery, language, or themes designed to appeal to persons under the age of 18.

We support the UAE government's efforts to regulate the vaping industry responsibly and are committed to upholding the highest standards of compliance in everything we do.
