No, vaping indoors in Peru is prohibited under national tobacco control laws, which classify e-cigarettes as tobacco products. The Ley N° 30077 (2013) and its amendments, enforced by the Ministerio de Salud (MINSA) and DIGESA, ban smoking and vaping in enclosed public spaces, workplaces, and transport. Local ordinances, such as Lima’s Ordenanza Municipal N° 2033-MML (2018), reinforce these restrictions with fines up to 10 UIT (~PEN 46,000) for violations. The 2026 draft Reglamento de Productos Nicotínicos may further tighten compliance.
