They want vapes banned on environmental and health grounds
Local authorities in England and Wales have called for disposable vapes to be banned in the UK by 2024 on environmental and health grounds.
David Fothergill, chairman of the LGA’s Community Wellbeing Board, said: “Councils are not anti-vapes, which are shown to be less harmful than smoking and have a place as a tool to use in smoking cessation. “Councils urge the Government to take this action to protect our planet, keep children safe and save taxpayers money.”
“Children already find it easy to get hold of illegal vapes as those selling them have no qualms selling to children. Making them all illegal won’t help. The sale of illegal disposable vapes, already large and growing, will be turbo-charged if they are banned.” “We strongly encourage all consumers to consider the environment and dispose of electrical waste, including by making use of take back schemes at participating retailers.”
