What’s the point of banning Elf bars?
The introduction of disposable vapes impacted the positive trend of tobacco harm reduction in the UK. Despite being seen as a safer alternative, their popularity among teenagers raised concerns. Environmentalists criticized their impact on lithium use. The government recently announced a ban on disposable vapes from July next year, citing environmental reasons, but efficacy in reducing underage vaping is uncertain. Similar bans in the past did not curb smoking. Enforcement of existing laws and addressing illegal sales to minors may be more effective. Failure of the ban could result in further legislation, highlighting the need for proactive solutions over bans.
