UK to Ban Disposable Vapes Amid Growing Health Concerns

The UK is set to ban disposable vapes starting June 1st, 2025. The ban will affect England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. This decision follows growing concerns about the health risks associated with vaping, especially among young people. According to Dr. Ahmed Ezzat, an NHS surgeon, "One in three under-15s have tried vaping." Dr. Ezzat also highlighted the potential negative impact on women's fertility and cellular repair. The ban aims to curb the rise in youth vaping and mitigate potential long-term health consequences. The government hopes this measure will encourage healthier lifestyle choices and reduce the environmental impact of discarded vapes.
