Wales will ban the sale of disposable vapes starting June 2025, in coordination with England’s decision, with Scotland and Northern Ireland likely to implement similar measures. Welsh Deputy First Minister Huw Irranca-Davies emphasized the environmental and social harm caused by single-use vapes as a priority in the decision. Chris Mcginley, a 35-year-old in Cardiff who had quit cigarettes for years before vaping said "Disposable vapes are such an easy way in for people, I can't get off them". The move underscores a UK-wide effort to address the health risks and environmental waste associated with disposable vapes.
