Switzerland to ban single-use e-cigarettes

Switzerland's upper house voted to ban disposable e-cigarettes, or vapes, due to health concerns and their appeal to young people. Despite initial opposition, the ban aims to combat rising nicotine consumption and environmental impact. Switzerland follows other European countries and Swiss cantons in regulating vape sales. Critics warn of potential loopholes with reusable vapes becoming the next trend.


23.30% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 1.7 million current smokers in Switzerland.
