Read the article. Most of what you've said here is irrelevant.

As for use, it's almost certainly going to be only enforced for people blatantly smoking in public. At home, or on smoke break behind your job, I doubt anyone will even notice.

    You can't be serious.

    Last year, the Maldives made it illegal for anyone to import, sell, possess, use or distribute electronic cigarettes and vaping products, regardless of age.

    I'm asking (and guessing) how they're gonna accomplish enforcing that part. Just like you are.

    edit: not to mention, the article is either shit at translating, or intentionally equates tobacco and vapes

    Those are two separate items. That was vaping, this is tobacco products. And it's not just about use, it's about buying and selling. So it doesn't really make sense to question prosecuting use, when that's unlikely to happen, the vast majority of enforcement will be on retail sales, which ought to be effective.
