The number of children vaping in the UK has tripled in the last three years. Disposable vapes are being banned to address the rise in youth vaping and protect children's health. New data shows that disposable vapes in particular have been driving increased vape usage among youth aged 11-17, with a nine-fold increase over the last two years.
Child-friendly flavors like energy drinks and cookies are fuelling the popularity of disposable vapes among younger users. To curb this trend, the UK government is implementing a ban on disposable vapes and will introduce new restrictions on vape flavors and packaging.
