Aside from countries that have banned sales of vapor products completely,most countries simply follow their legal adult ages when setting a minimum age to buy e-cigarettes.

Do you know what are the legal ages to buy vapes in your country?

As in the United States, some other countries have state or provincial laws supersede the national minimum age for buying vapes. Canada, for example, has a national minimum age of 18, but many provinces and territories have set the age to buy vapes at 19. In Australia sales of nicotine-containing consumer products (except cigarettes) are illegal, but non-nicotine vapes are legal, and the legal age to purchase varies from state to state.

Despite the tobacco 21 wildfire raging across the United States, only two other countries in the world (Honduras and Palau) have decided citizens must be at least 21-years-old to buy a vapor product.

Where are you from?

The issue as I understand it is there is an untested and moderately weak but not entirely baseless theory that nicotine negatively affects brain development. As such keeping it out of the hands of people who’s brains haven’t finished developing seems fairly reasonable. At least until they can get around to testing it. This is probably not going to happen because if you give vapes to kids and the theory is correct you’re a monster. That’s not even ironic. Monster would fit. There would have to be a perfect storm of a large group of kids who vape, refuse to stop, can’t be stopped anyway, and are willing to join a scientific survey.

It’s unlikely.

I agree,so minimum age must be set to prevent kids to vape.We should advocate smoker stop smok and start vape,instead of attracting kids to vape.
