US EditionDisposable Vapes Ban Unlikely to Reduce Appeal, Says Campaigner
- The UK is banning the sale of disposable vapes from June 1, 2025, to curb youth vaping and reduce electronic waste.
- This ban follows concerns over the environmental damage caused by single-use vapes and the appeal of disposable products to young people.
- Reusable vapes with rechargeable batteries and refillable coils will replace disposables but often resemble banned products in price, design, and packaging.
- Campaigners warn that many vapers are unaware of recycling options and that new cheap vape models may bypass the ban, continuing environmental harm.
- Officials acknowledge the ban may not reduce product appeal to youth fully and stress the need for further regulations and consumer education to address these issues.
