The government is set to ban the sale of single-use disposable vapes in England and Wales come 2025 to protect children’s health and the environment. The ban excludes rechargeable or refillable devices due to the challenge of recycling single-use vapes that end up in landfills. Concerns have been raised about the rise in youth vaping and the potential black market that could emerge as a result of the ban. Other countries have also implemented restrictions on disposable vapes, with plans to outlaw the products in the future. The announcement aligns with the government’s efforts to reduce waste and limit access to harmful nicotine products for young people.
