Will you get fined if you're spotted using a disposable vape? Everything you need to know as ban comes into force

BRITS could be fined hundreds of pounds following the government's recent disposable vape ban. A ban on Advertisement 3 Disposable vapes are now banned in the UK Credit: Alamy 3 The aim is to prevent youths taking up the habit and to protect the environment Credit: Alamy The disposable vape ban has made it illegal for any retailer to sell single single use vapes online or in store after coming into effect on June 1. Only reusable vapes can now be sold as the government aims to prevent youths picking up the habit and protect the environment. But e-smokers may wonder whether they'll be fined if they're seen smoking one of the disposable devices. Under the new legislation, rogue traders who continue to sell disposable vapes will be fined £200. Advertisement Read more News Serial offenders could face criminal charges of an unlimited fine or a prison sentence of up to two years. But these fines only apply to supplying disposable vapes. Those who have stocked up and are still smoking the devices following the ban won't be fined. As a result, online vendors were desperate to avoid being stuck with illegal stock before the deadline leading to Advertisement Most read in The Sun One site was boasting a "UK Vape Bargain Blast" ahead of the deadline, selling Flavaah Bar disposable vapes for 29p each, down from £5. The popular Elf Bar vapes were also down from a fiver at just 49p. The Sun spoke to Douglas Eccles from Rustic Vapez before the ban was put in place, who agreed with the ban but noted how it left customers "panicking". Advertisement Disposable vapes will be banned across UK by next summer to stop Britain's kids from getting hooked He said: "Everyone's panicking thinking all disposables are gone from Sunday, but it's not going to go that way. "A lot of people are bulk-buying them because a lot of shops are doing them really cheap because they know that any stock they've got from Sunday they've got to take off the shelves." But the ban could backfire with a slew of consequences, according to industry leaders. Experts fear the ban could result in vapes losing their original purpose as an aid to quit smoking. Advertisement They warn that smokers who used vapes to help kick cigarettes may now return to the deadly habit. Even worse, they could turn to Instead, experts say the ban was a "disproportionate response" and looking at existing laws and education should have been considered first. Kate Pike, the lead officer for Advertisement She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'It's a real worry that people will continue to use them as single-use disposable and therefore it won't help limit the damage to the environment.' Industry leaders have also warned that disposable products will soon be replaced with near identical reusable vapes as sellers scramble to get new legal models onto shelves. Additionally, campaigners We Vape said the new law will create a black market that is "impossible to enforce". Smoking vs. vaping VAPING has been touted as an effective tool to help people quit smoking. Though vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking, the habit isn't completely harmless and comes with its own set of risks. The NHS only recommends it for adult smokers, to support quitting smoking. GP and author Dr Philippa Kaye explained to The Sun that the differences between vaping and smoking - and whether one is better than the other - is "complicated". "In a nutshell, vaping is better than smoking, but breathing air is better than vaping at all." Vaping exposes users to far fewer toxins - and at lower levels - than smoking cigarettes. Switching to vaping significantly reduces your exposure to toxins that can cause cancer, lung disease, and diseases of the heart and circulation like heart attack and stroke. These diseases are not caused by nicotine, which is relatively harmless to health. But research has still linked vaping to a higher risk of failure and lung disease. Health risks of cigarettes Smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to develop heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer Smokers are at greater risk for diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels Smoking can cause lung disease by damaging your airways and the small air sacs Smoking can cause cancer almost anywhere in your body It affects overall health too, such as your mouth, eyes, immune system and fertility Health risks of vaping They can cause side effects such as throat and mouth irritation, headache, cough and feeling sick They could lead to tooth decay They could damage heart health They could cause lung disease They could slow brain development Read more on how vaping can affect your health Sources : NHS, CDC 3 Online and in-store vendors slashed prices to sell off their disposable vape stock Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Advertisement

Honor 400 Lite review: premium iPhone styling & excellent battery for under €300

Back in my halcyon days of DJing, there was nothing more exciting than having a new record before anyone else. The same applies to being a tech reviewer - it's a massive privilege and pleasure to get to test new products before they go on sale in Ireland, especially when it is before other reviewers too. Honor 400 Lite is one such piece of kit. I've been having fun with this incredible phone for a couple of months ahead of its arrival in Harvey Norman and Three this month. It's an incredible device because of the refined and elegant experience you get for your money, starting with the stunning 6.7in full HD+ AMOLED display with a superfast 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3,500 nits that is unusually high for a handset in this price range. The superslim Honor 400 Lite lives up to its name by weighing just 171g and it is comfortable to hold and use. The review unit was matte black in colour but it's also available in green and grey. Honor 400 Lite has just one rear camera of note to shout about, a 108MP wide angle shooter that delivers especially pleasing shots in decent lighting. It comes with a dedicated AI camera button similar to iPhone 16's Camera Control and it works efficiently as both a zoom controller and shutter button. You can also record video by pressing the button for longer and you can set it to shoot photos in burst mode which is handy for capturing fast moving subjects. The main camera works superbly as a macro camera, capable of sharp close-up shots at 2x and 3x that include impressive bokeh. Within the app you can turn on an iPhone-style Live Photo feature to automatically record a short three-second video and then select the best frame as the still image. Another handy tool is Highlights Capture which can detect smiles, people jumping or running and pets and instantly grab an image. It's useful for grabbing hands-free selfies from the 16MP front camera just by smiling. You will get decent results from the main camera's Portrait mode and Night mode. To use the full 108Mp resolution, you need to switch on High-Res mode which is found under the More tab in the camera app. There's also a Pro mode that offers a decent amount of customisation but it does not shoot in 108MP. However, there is no RAW capture. Honor 400 Lite is driven by a MediaTek Dimensity 7025-Ultra processor coupled with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. The software is the firm's own MagicOS 9.0 atop Android 15. It is sleek and easy to navigate with plenty of customisation options. The OS is not quite as flawless as, for example, Oppo's ColorsOS but the user experience on the 400 Lite is without hiccups. Performance is top notch for everyday use. Like other phones in this price range, it's not powerful enough for serious gaming but aside from that you'll find it fast and fluid. When not in camera mode, a long press of the camera button opens Google Lens by default. This enables you to search images or translate text almost instantly. Honor 400 Lite has a relatively large 5,230mAh power pack and most people who buy this device will get up to two days out of the battery from a single charge. There is support for 35W charging which is not lightning fast but this is a budget phone and those speeds are not far off the flagships from Samsung and Apple. Honor has included iPhone-esque styling elements such as the Magic Capsule display at the top of the screen, rounded corners, and completely flat and metal-coloured edges. This gorgeous handset does not feel like a €299 phone. The IP65 rating means it is dustproof and splashproof and can withstand an occasional dash of water during everyday use. The unit also boasts Wet-hand Touch technology that means the screen is responsive even in the rain. There is an under-display fingerprint sensor that is reliable but not as fast as the ultrasonic sensor on Honor's flagship devices. You also get NFC, Bluetooth 5.3, dual speakers and support for Wi-Fi 2.4GHz and 5GHz up to the 802.11ac standard. Honor 400 Lite does a great job of delivering premium iPhone-style features on a budget-priced phone. In 2025, this is a competitive price point with options from Nothing and Samsung offering plenty of competition. But anyone who buys this Honor unit should be pleased by the value-for-money feature set. Honor 400 Lite costs €299 sim-free and is available from Harvey Norman and Three. You can also buy it from Amazon.

WhatsApp users blocked from sending messages as app stops working on three beloved iPhone models

TIME has run out for a number of WhatsApp users on iPhone after a short reprieve.

It's all come about because Read more about WhatsApp Previously, you needed at least iOS 12 but that's now been upped to iOS 15.1. For most iPhones, that's not a problem as they can be upgraded to the newer software for free. But the tech on some older iPhones are considered too dated to handle these updates, so they're left behind. There are three iPhone models that are newly unable to use WhatsApp as such.

"Devices and software change often, so we regularly review what operating systems we support and make updates," WhatsApp says. "Every year we look at which devices and software are the oldest and have the fewest users. "These devices also might not have the latest security updates, or might lack the functionality required to run WhatsApp. "Before we stop supporting your operating system, you'll be notified in WhatsApp and reminded a few times to upgrade." WHAT TO DO IF I'M AFFECTED Sadly, if you want to continue using WhatsApp the best option is to upgrade your phone. Of course, the trusty SMS text message will still work, as well as Apple's own iMessage, so you could switch but you won't have key features like groups anymore as you do on WhatsApp. If you do opt for an upgrade, it doesn't have to be the most expensive option around.
