In efforts to stamp out the UKs child vaping epidemic, the PM has pledged to ban disposable e-cigs completely. Ministers are also considering an import ban on single-use vapes.

Rishi Sunak announces the plan saying "we must act" to tackle a rise in vaping among children.

Disposable vapes are set to be banned as part of plans to tackle the rising number of young people taking up vaping, the UK government says.

The British government says it will ban the sale of disposable vapes and limit their flavors in an effort to prevent children from becoming addicted.

Disposable vapes are set to be banned in the UK amid a wider government crackdown on e-cigarettes and smoking.

Under the same crackdown, shops will only be able to sell vapes in a limited number of flavours and in plain, tobacco-style packaging. E-cigarettes will also be required to be displayed out of sight.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the ban on disposable vapes, expected to come into force by the end of the year or in early 2025, was balanced and the right action.

The plans, confirmed by the Prime Minister today, are also expected to see vapes restricted to four flavours, sold in plain packaging and displayed out of kids sight.

The Conservative Party accepted £350,000 from Sandeep Singh Chadha who is the boss of a company that sells vapes with names such as Blue Razz Lemonade and Strawberry Mousse

Retailers in Dundee vape shops have spoken on the government announcement disposable vaporisers are to be banned by the end of the year.
