Plans to make vaping less appealing also to include restricting fruity flavours and introducing plain packaging
Ministers are to ban disposable vapes as part of a UK-wide drive to curb youth vaping.
The government is also seeking to make vaping less appealing to children by restricting sweet and fruity flavours, introducing plain packaging and making displays less visible in shops, under newly announced powers. The changes are expected to come into effect towards the end of this year or early 2025.
Announcing the move, Rishi Sunak said: “As any parent or teacher knows, one of the most worrying trends at the moment is the rise in vaping among children, and so we must act before it becomes endemic.”
Flavors are laughably easy to mix in tho and with disposable ban refill culture will rise. Though the danger here is that teens will fuck with the refill process as some flavoring is known to be harmful when vaporized.
Tbh I don’t get disposables when refills are so much better and hardly takes any effort. I’m pro vaping but totally agree with disposable ban. It’s nasty to create so much unnecessary trash.
