US EditionThe Exact Date It Becomes Illegal to Buy or Sell Disposable Vapes in the UK
- The UK will ban the sale of disposable vapes, also known as single-use vapes, starting June 1, 2025, applying across all nations and sales channels.
- The ban follows concerns about rising youth vaping rates, environmental litter, and fire risks from improperly discarded products, with agreements reached among UK governments.
- Disposable vapes are brightly coloured, sweetly flavoured, non-rechargeable, and often littered or thrown away incorrectly, causing fires in bin lorries and difficulties at recycling centers.
- Cllr David Fothergill highlighted that each week, millions of disposable vapes are either discarded improperly or recycled inappropriately, causing litter on our streets, posing risks to waste collection vehicles, and creating challenges for recycling facilities.
- The ban aims to reduce youth vaping, environmental harm, and fire risks, but authorities warn about stockpiling dangers and stress the need for further government action on vape advertising and design.
