Government urged to become first in Europe to ban 'disposable vapes' 

A number of European governments are actively considering how to tackle the proliferation of the disposable form of e-cigarettes on health, social, and environmental grounds.

An environmental charity has urged the Government to become the first in Europe to ban disposable vapes outright.

Ireland has a leading legacy in tackling tobacco use already and should continue that by banning disposable e-cigarettes "as soon as possible", Voice of Irish Concern for the Environment (Voice) said.
