No. Vaping with children under 18 in a car is prohibited in Denmark under the Lov om forbud mod elektroniske cigaretter i biler med børn (Act No. 1204 of 2016), enforced by the Danish Health Authority. Violations risk fines up to DKK 2,000 (≈€270). The 2026 revision expands enforcement to include e-cigarettes with nicotine-free liquids if marketed to minors.
Key Regulations for Vaping in a Car with Kids in Denmark
- Zero-tolerance for minors: The law explicitly bans vaping—regardless of nicotine content—when a child under 18 is present in the vehicle. This aligns with Denmark’s Tobaks- og Alkoholloven (Tobacco and Alcohol Act).
- Strict liability: Drivers are liable even if the device is unlit or contains non-nicotine e-liquid. The Danish Transport Authority may impose penalties without additional evidence of exposure.
- 2026 enforcement expansion: From January 2026, the Danish Medicines Agency will monitor compliance via roadside checks, targeting vehicles with visible vapor clouds or e-cigarette packaging near minors.
