In a major public health decision, the UK government has announced a complete ban on disposable vapes starting in early 2025. The move comes in response to growing concerns about teenage vaping and environmental waste.
The ban will affect popular brands like Elf Bar and Lost Mary, which are widely used among British teens. Authorities say enforcement will focus on both import restrictions and retail regulation.
India, Bangladesh, and Bhutan are closely observing the policy, where youth e-cigarette use is rising but regulatory frameworks remain weak. The UK’s decision may influence similar bans across Commonwealth nations.
