Is vaping THC in public allowed in the UK?

No. Even though legal THC vapes in the UK contain less than 1 mg of THC per container, using them in public places is generally not allowed. Public vaping rules are determined by local authorities and private policies, similar to nicotine vapes, and many areas restrict or ban their use.

In practice, most transport services, workplaces, restaurants, and shops prohibit vaping indoors or in enclosed spaces. Outdoor restrictions may also apply in designated smoke-free zones. Legal THC vapes remain non-intoxicating, but public use still falls under wider vaping regulations. To avoid fines or penalties, always check signage and follow local rules.
