‘Vaping left me tired and anxious – the ban is a great thing’

A former vaper worried about the impact on his long-term health has warned that the “barrier of entry” to vaping is currently too low as he welcomed the Government’s plans to ban disposable e-cigarettes. Disposable vapes are set to be barred after the Government announced on Monday new measures to tackle the number of young people taking up vaping. Expected to be introduced across the UK, the ban will also ensure manufacturers produce plain packaging and will change how vapes are displayed in shops, moving them out of children’s sight.

UK to ban disposable vapes, restrict flavours and do more stupid stuff

The UK government has decided it will ban disposable vapes and suggests it will ban vape flavours. This will trigger more smoking, more illicit trade and more workarounds. The problem of youth vaping is a non-problem and the government is reacting to a moral panic it doesn't understand.

Banning disposable e-cigarettes won’t stop kids vaping

The government thinks it has finally found a popular policy. Better still, it is a policy that it can implement, or at least legislate for. According to a press release from the Department of Health and Social Care, a ban on disposable vapes is supported by ‘nearly 70 per cent of parents, teachers, healthcare professionals and the general public’. The British public love a ban. Last month a survey found that 29 per cent of us want to close the nightclubs to deal with the remnants of Covid-19 and 20 per cent want to re-introduce lockdown.

The government’s proposals on single use vapes, flavours and packaging are misguided and will cost lives.

The New Nicotine Alliance is extremely disappointed to hear that the UK government plans to ban single use vapes, restrict many flavours which can help people quit smoking, enforce plain packaging, and severely reduce the visibility of life-saving products. The government’s response to the recent public consultation has ignored the most knowledgeable experts in tobacco control and put forth measures which will fail to tackle the issue of youth vaping and illicit sales, while also producing outcomes which will be damaging to public health.

Disposable vapes to be banned for children's health, government says

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak suggested adult smokers trying to quit would still have access to alternatives like vapes under the proposals. The ban is expected to be introduced across the UK, the government said.
