No, vaping indoors in Utah is prohibited under the Utah Indoor Clean Air Act (UICAA), which classifies e-cigarettes as tobacco products. Local jurisdictions, including Salt Lake City and Park City, have enacted stricter ordinances banning vaping in all enclosed public spaces and workplaces, effective since 2023. The Utah Department of Health enforces compliance, with 2026 amendments expanding penalties for violations to include fines up to $299 per incident.
