Glastonbury Festival has urged the over 210,000 visitors descending on Somerset not to bring disposable vapes. Organisers have added the items to its official "do not bring" list, four years after banning the sale of plastic bottles on-site.
Glastonbury organisers said: "Do not bring disposable vapes. They pollute the environment and can be hazardous at waste centres."
Estimates suggest about 1.3million disposable vapes are thrown away each week in the UK, powered by non-rechargeable lithium batteries. The vapes include the enormously popular Elf Bar and Lost Mary vapes, the latter Philip Schofield was seen puffing on during a recent interview.
