Is vaping / are e-cigarettes allowed in Morocco?

Vaping in Morocco is one of those things that is fine in practice but a little murky on paper, so let me give you the realistic version. Plenty of Moroccans and tourists vape, you will spot vape shops in Marrakech, Casablanca, Rabat and the bigger cities, and nobody is going to hassle you for using a device. At the same time, the formal import and sale of e-cigarettes and liquids has gone through periods of restriction, so it is not as cleanly regulated as cigarettes, and supply in shops can be inconsistent.

The practical upshot is: bring what you need with you. I tell vapers to pack their device, spare coils and enough e-liquid for the whole trip rather than relying on finding their preferred gear locally, because while shops exist, the range, the nicotine strengths you want, and reliable stock are not guaranteed, especially outside the major cities. Carry devices in your hand luggage as you would on any flight, and keep liquids within the airline limits. You are very unlikely to have an issue bringing personal-use quantities in.

On etiquette, treat vaping exactly like smoking, because socially that is how it reads here. That means being discreet in traditional neighbourhoods, not vaping in mosques or religious sites, and crucially being mindful during Ramadan — vaping in public during daylight hours of the fasting month is disrespectful in the same way smoking, eating or drinking in public is, so step into private spaces. In cafés and restaurants, follow the same rules as cigarettes; many indoor venues are no-smoking, while terraces and shisha cafés are relaxed.

My honest summary for guests: you can vape in Morocco without drama, just come self-sufficient and stay considerate. Do not expect to easily restock your exact liquid, do not vape ostentatiously around conservative or religious settings, and observe Ramadan sensitivities if you visit then. Handle it with the same low-key courtesy you would extend to smoking, and it is a complete non-issue — which is the experience the vast majority of vaping travellers have here.
