Starting from June 1, 2025, selling or supplying disposable vapes will be illegal in England, aiming to address the environmental impact and youth vaping concerns. Retailers violating this will face fines and potential imprisonment. The upcoming Tobacco and Vapes Bill will also restrict vape advertising, flavors, and packaging targeted at children. Alongside this, a new vaping duty will be introduced in October 2026, complementing the current VAT on vaping products. The government is also acting against illegal vapes containing harmful substances, enhancing consumer safety.
From 1 June 2025, businesses will be banned from selling or supplying any single-use vapes, whether that's in shops or online.
The government hopes the ban will reduce environmental damage caused by the devices and help cut the number of children and young people vaping.
Trading Standards will be able to seize any single-use vapes they find. Only devices considered to be reusable will be legal.
A new vaping duty will start on 1 October 2026. It will be charged at a flat rate of 2.20 per 10ml vaping liquid.
