The UK government has passed legislation to ban the sale of single-use disposable vapes by June 1, 2025, citing environmental and public health concerns. The ban targets youth access to nicotine and aims to reduce waste from disposable vapes, which contain toxic substances. The government will work with online retailers to prevent black-market sales, while receiving public support for the ban. Health officials emphasize the need to protect young people from nicotine addiction. The ban is part of the UK’s broader environmental strategy to achieve net-zero emissions and reduce waste, reflecting a commitment to a more sustainable and circular economy.
