The Environmental Protection (Single-use Vapes) (England) Regulations 2024 set forth regulations to prohibit the supply of single-use vapes in England. This measure aims to address environmental concerns associated with disposable vaping products, which contribute significantly to waste and pollution.
These regulations specifically target the reduction of waste from single-use vaping devices by banning their supply, aligning with broader environmental goals and sustainability efforts within the UK.
