On Saturday the 1st of June England’s Disposable Vape Ban officially came into force. Businesses are now subject to a stop/compliance notice or a £200 fine in the first instance for stocking disposable vapes and an unlimited fine or prison time of up to two years for further offences. The ban is not public health legislation rather it was developed under Environmental Protection Act 1990 to attempt to reduce the damage being done by the lithium batteries present within disposable vape devices (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2025). With vaping in young people now being called a public health crisis it is worth exploring the evidence base to try and understand whether this ban could have any impact on vaping rates among young people.
