Dec 29, 2024, 07:22 AM
Belgium will implement a ban on the sale of disposable electronic cigarettes starting January 1, 2025, marking a pioneering move within the European Union. The decision, driven by health and environmental concerns, aims to address the growing issue of waste associated with single-use vapes. This initiative follows the collection of over 80,000 vapes in a county recycling scheme, highlighting the urgency of managing e-waste. Additionally, the new regulations will extend to public spaces, including amusement parks, zoos, and sports fields, where the use of such products will also be prohibited.
