Some vapes look set to be banned in England with an announcement expected next week by Public Health Minister Neil O'Brien. The UK government is considering a ban on fruit-flavoured vapes as part of its efforts to address the increasing number of young people using the products.
Mr O'Brien is expected to call for an investigation into the issue, with a possible ban on the addictive fruity flavours that have gained popularity in recent years. It is currently illegal in the UK to sell vapes to those under 18, and there are limits on nicotine content, refill bottle and tank sizes, as well as restrictions on advertising and labelling.
Neil Mclaren, a vaping expert and co-CEO at Vaping.com said: "“Exotic and fruity flavours are used by many adults who find a flavour they like which enables them to stay on their nicotine replacement plan. The government stating that fruit-flavoured vapes and juices just target children is utter nonsense, with 79% of vapers surveyed agreeing that the enjoyment of flavours keeps them from turning back to cigarettes.
