The UK government has announced that the sale of disposable vapes will be banned in England starting June 2025, a move aimed at reducing environmental harm and protecting children's health. This ban, first proposed by the Rishi Sunak-led government, is expected to be followed by similar legislation in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This initiative aims to mitigate environmental damage, as disposable vapes are notorious for contributing to landfill waste and hazardous battery leakage. Industry leaders have expressed concerns that this ban may lead to an increase in illegal sales of vaping products. While the legislation specifically targets single-use devices, refillable vapes remain unaffected, highlighting the government’s focus on reducing environmental impact.
