The UK government has announced plans to ban the sale of single-use vapes by June 2025, citing environmental concerns over the disposal of millions of these devices each week.
The Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (Defra) estimates that nearly five million disposable vapes are discarded weekly, contributing to significant waste.

The move aims to reduce environmental harm while raising questions about its impact on vaping habits.
