The selling of disposable vapes is now outlawed – part of a co-ordinated move by Westminster and the devolved governments to ban the supply of devices designed to be thrown away after a few hundred or thousand puffs.

The sale of disposable vapes will be banned in the United Kingdom from Sunday, as the country becomes the latest to tackle the “environmental nightmare” of the single-use devices. However, some campaigners warn that the new restrictions are just “a drop in the ocean” in the war against plastic waste.
