Disposable vapes will be banned across the United Kingdom starting from June 1, 2025, as announced by the Labour Party government. The ban on the sale and supply of single-use vapes aims to make vaping less appealing to young people, following a National Health Service report revealing that a quarter of 11 to 15-year-olds in England tried vaping during 2023. Suppliers must sell all their stock by the deadline. The move also seeks to address environmental concerns over plastic waste from disposable devices.
