UK’s Disposable Vape Crisis: Millions Thrown Away Daily, Ban Incoming
Research reveals that the UK discards 13 vapes every second, resulting in over a million daily disposals and a significant environmental problem. The proliferation of larger, high-puff vapes exacerbates this issue, with three million sold weekly. The impending ban on single-use vapes in June 2025 aims to mitigate environmental damage and underage vaping. However, the improper disposal of all vapes, containing hazardous lithium-ion batteries, poses a fire risk and wastes valuable resources.
