The Environmental Protection (Single-use Vapes) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024 is aimed at reducing environmental pollution by banning the sale and supply of single-use vapes. This initiative is part of a broader movement in the United Kingdom to mitigate the environmental impacts of disposable vaping products.
The regulations prohibit the sale and distribution of single-use vapes, addressing the growing concerns about their environmental impact, particularly the issues of littering and non-recyclable waste.
