UK Implements Ban on Single-Use E-Cigarettes
Israa Farhan The United Kingdom has officially prohibited the sale of single-use e-cigarettes starting Sunday, following the example of Belgium and France. These disposable vaping devices, known for their colorful designs and sweet flavors, have gained popularity among young people since their introduction in 2021. Single-use e-cigarettes have been widely available across UK streets, contributing to nicotine addiction among children and teenagers. The ban targets the sale and distribution of these inexpensive products, with penalties including fines of £200 ($269) for first offences and potential imprisonment of up to two years for repeat violations. This legislation was initiated under the previous Conservative government and has now taken effect. Reports from the non-profit organization Material Focus reveal that around five million single-use e-cigarettes were discarded weekly in the UK in 2024, resulting in over 40 tonnes of lithium waste annually. This amount of lithium could power approximately 5,000 electric vehicles, and the discarded waste presents fire risks in household rubbish. Data from Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) indicates that 11% of adults in the UK—about 5.6 million people—use e-cigarettes. Among young people aged 11 to 17, 18% (around 980,000 individuals) reported using e-cigarettes in 2024. The new law aims to reduce e-cigarette use among youth while maintaining access to products that support smoking cessation. Unlike traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes do not produce harmful tar or carbon monoxide but still contain highly addictive nicotine. Following the announcement of the ban, the use of single-use e-cigarettes has declined significantly. Among e-cigarette users aged 18 to 24, the proportion using disposable devices dropped from 52% in 2024 to 40% in 2025. Earlier this year, France and Belgium became the first European countries to ban single-use e-cigarettes, with Ireland currently considering similar measures. Industry representatives warn that the ban could encourage the growth of a black market, increasing the circulation of potentially unsafe products. The law criminalizes the sale of single-use e-cigarettes but does not prohibit their use, raising concerns about enforcement and public safety. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
