Can travelers bring e-cigarettes into Vietnam, and what alternatives are available in Ho Chi Minh City?

If e-cigarettes cannot be brought in or found immediately after arrival, one suggested fallback is regular cigarettes. A contributor reports that good cigarettes are sold in Vietnam for less than in Russia.

Switching to tobacco is mentioned as another alternative to e-cigarettes, although it will not suit every traveler.

Travelers who use e-cigarettes recommend checking possible penalties and how quickly a point of sale can be found locally. One message contains an unverified mention of a fine of about US$100.
