Warning that disposable vapes ban ‘will backfire' as threat of £200 fines looms in just hours
EXPERTS have warned that the government's disposable vape ban will backfire. The threat of fines looms with just hours left before 4 Experts warned that the ban could lead to a surge in black market products Credit: Getty 4 Smokers relied on the products as an easy to use alternative to traditional cigarettes Credit: PA Coming into effect on Sunday June 1, the ban will make it illegal for any retailer to sell single use vapes online or in store. Only reusable vapes will be sold from June 1 with the Industry leaders have today warned that the ban will backfire with a slew of unintended consequences expected. Experts shared concerns that the ban will result in the Read more in News Concerns have been raised that after the ban smokers who moved away from cigarettes with the help of vapes will return to the deadly habit. Experts said that without Evidence from the USA and Australia indicates vape bans create a boom in black market, counterfeit vapes being sold. Disposable vapes have been extremely popular with smokers looking to kick the habit because they are as easy to use as a traditional Most read in News Experts said the ban was a "disproportionate response" to youth vaping and environmental concerns. Industry leaders said looking at other options like enforcing existing laws and education should have been considered. Kate Pike, the lead officer for 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.' 4 Further restrictions are set to hit the vape industry Credit: Getty 4 Retailers have been warned that they could be slapped with massive fines if they continue to sell the products Credit: AFP Further restrictions on disposable vapes are currently working their way through parliament. The Tobacco and Vapes Bill will see marketing, packaging and flavours of Rogue traders who continue to sell the disposable vapes will face fines of £200 under the new legislation.

There are just hours left before the products will be illegal to sell in stores or online. Experts have warned that the disposable products will soon be replaced with near identical reusable vapes as firms scramble to get new legal models onto shelves. 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

Inside world's wackiest £15million mansion left abandoned on 400ft skyscraper – and why the owner never moved in
THE fate of an abandoned £15million mansion perched on a 400ft skyscraper hangs in balance after the tycoon owner fled to the UK. Details of what's inside the unbelievable White House replica have been revealed for the first time - but it remains unclear whether the sprawling home will have any residents. 9 Businessman Vijay Mallya commissioned to build Sky Mansion on the 34th and 35th Kingfisher Towers Credit: Supplied 9 The sky-high structure was modelled off the White House Credit: Supplied 9 The build has a helipad and infinity pool Credit: Supplied 9 Businessman Vijay Mallya, 69, who lives in the UK, commissioned the Sky Mansion on the 34th and 35th Kingfisher Towers in Bengaluru, India in 2010. But the tycoon could never live in his dream home after he fled the country in 2016 after defrauding at least 17 banks of nearly £1billion. Now sources familiar with the case say the future of the mansion remains uncertain as lenders and agencies probing the fraud are still trying to recover cash from Mallya. Sprawled over an unbelievable 40,000sqft on two levels, the wacky mansion sticks out like a sore thumb on the gargantuan tower. For its ultra-rich owner - if it ever gets one - there's a helipad, infinity pool and an open deck that offers a 360-degree viewing platform of the city. And despite the penthouse being part of the skyscraper, it's a private villa with two of its own elevators. The Kingfisher Towers were built on 4.5 acres of land where the father-in-law of former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Narayan Murthy, reportedly bought a flat last year. The mansion was one of the first residential penthouses in the country built at such a height. Most read in The US Sun Chairman of Prestige Group Irfan Razack previously said constructing the gargantuan mansion was a challenge as it was mounted on cantilever - a structure only supported at one end. He said to local media: "It's a complex structure. It was a challenge to construct the mansion on a huge cantilever at that height." Dubai hotel with world's largest waterpark It's unknown when the build was completed - but the exterior of the mansion appears to be fully finished. But it's not clear if the White House replica is finished on the inside. Interior firm Morph Design and Co, an arm of Prestige Group hired to work on the interiors of the mansion, revealed to The Sun that the 'interiors of the mansion were not done'. While the house is reportedly taken care of by the developers and regularly cleaned, the penthouse lies unoccupied due to legal tangles. Prestige Constructions didn't respond to a request from The Sun on its fate. Before the penthouse was finished, Mallya fled the country after facing legal action over money laundering and alleged fraud charges. He had taken a loan from a syndicate of banks for the operations of his now-defunct Kingfisher Airlines - but he failed to make the payment. 9 Former Indian politician and billionaire businessman Vijay Mallya leaves after his extradition hearing, at Westminster Magistrates Court in 2017 Credit: AP:Associated Press 9 The wacky mansion sticks out like a sore thumb atop the gargantuan tower Credit: Supplied 9 The building sits higher than the rest of the city Credit: Supplied 9 The mansion was one of the first residential penthouses in the country built on such a height Credit: Supplied The tycoon later declared himself bankrupt in the UK. Indian banks have since been seeking to recover the outstanding loan amount through various legal mean - including the sale of his assets. Several of his properties have been seized by the Enforcement Directorate, otherwise known as the financial crimes police . And the mansion is likely part of the recovery procedure. SS Naganand, the counsel who appeared for one of the banks, told The Sun: " The tower was part of the entire recovery proceeding and all the assets belonging to him are part of the process, certainly that mansion. "The building was constructed long before the litigation started. 'Prestige Group put up the structure and kept a portion of it, the rest of which came to [his] company and Mallya had built something for him on the top and belonged to him personally. "From my understanding there were proceedings relating to that both in Indian courts and the UK courts ." Mallya's former lawyer EC Agrawala said that the fate of the property can only be decided by the Indian government. He said: "The mansion was under construction. Read more on the Irish Sun "The last three to four years, I have not followed it. It was seized by the Enforcement Directorate but not fully confiscated. "It is still lying unoccupied and unsold as the government is yet to decide its fate." Who is Vijay Mallya? By Annabel Bate, Foreign News Reporter VIJAY Mallya, 69, is a former businessman and politician who is the subject of an extradition effort by the Indian Government to return him from the UK. Officials want him to face charges of financial crimes in India. Mallya was the founder and former owner of defunct Kingfisher Airlines, as well as former co-owner of the Force India Formula One team - but it went into administration. The tycoon fled India in 2016 after defrauding at least 17 banks of nearly £1billion. Mallya he also faced legal action over money laundering alongside alleged fraud charges.
