Plans to make vaping less appealing also to include restricting fruity flavours and introducing plain packaging
Ministers are to ban disposable vapes as part of a UK-wide drive to curb youth vaping.
The government is also seeking to make vaping less appealing to children by restricting sweet and fruity flavours, introducing plain packaging and making displays less visible in shops, under newly announced powers. The changes are expected to come into effect towards the end of this year or early 2025.
Announcing the move, Rishi Sunak said: “As any parent or teacher knows, one of the most worrying trends at the moment is the rise in vaping among children, and so we must act before it becomes endemic.”
My local tobacco shop in the US still carries flavored nicotine juice. I thought only Juul got screwed.
They banned flavored pods. That’s why disposables took off. Those are banned now too, but enforcement is basically non-existent at the federal level.
Yeah, you can usually still find decent flavors if you buy bottles of juice, which I need to start doing again. I’d gotten lazy and switched back to a pod device (which I still hate because of the massive amounts of plastics), and the flavor options are very limited.
