Where to buy IQOS heets, vape sticks or disposable e-cigarettes in Side, Turkey?

Disposable vapes and IQOS heets/sticks are officially banned for sale in Turkey, so there are no legit websites to order them online — that's a scam. The only real option is to check tobacco shops in person around Manavgat and other towns near Side and ask directly, as some sellers keep them under the counter.

Are the free shopping trips to fur/leather shops in Side a scam?

It's a common tourist trap: the ride is free, but the return trip to your hotel is only guaranteed after you buy something, and staff heavily pressure you and may sell fake 'duty-free' perfume.
