Dubai Municipality is increasing inspections in malls after complaints about people vaping indoors, which is against UAE law. The health and safety department is working with mall operators to stop this, placing warning signs, instructing security to act, and asking shops to help enforce the rules. Smoking near entrances is also banned. Despite these steps, residents say vaping in public remains common and harmful, especially around children. Doctors warn that second-hand vape smoke contains harmful chemicals. Though vaping devices are legal to sell, using them indoors, including in malls and offices, is strictly prohibited to protect public health.
