VAPING Brits can be heavily fined or face jail in some holiday hotspots around the world.

Vape brand Blo Bar has recently revealed the countries where holidaymakers need to be careful the next time they head abroad.

There are 35 countries that have regulations or bans on vaping, including Australia, Brazil, Japan, Mexico and Singapore.

Brits who are on holiday in Colombia or Iran won't be able to vape in public spaces because it's illegal.

In some countries, the rules are much stricter with a complete ban in place in Argentina, Brazil, North Korea, and Nepal.
