No. Vaping indoors in Brazil is prohibited under federal health regulations, with enforcement by ANVISA and local health departments. The 2026 compliance framework tightens restrictions, aligning with WHO recommendations to treat vaping as tobacco use.
Key Regulations for Vaping Indoors in Brazil
- ANVISA Resolution 16/2008 classifies electronic smoking devices as tobacco products, banning indoor use in public and private enclosed spaces.
- State-level decrees (e.g., São Paulo’s Law 17.062/2019) extend prohibitions to vehicles and workplaces, with fines up to R$10,000 for violations.
- 2026 compliance updates require businesses to display “No Vaping” signs and integrate vaping into existing smoke-free policies, per ANVISA’s 2024 technical note.
Violations are enforced by municipal health inspectors, with penalties escalating for repeat offenses. Exemptions exist only for designated outdoor smoking areas.
