Disposable vapes are set to be banned in Britain as part of plans to tackle the rise in young people vaping and protect children’s health.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is set to announce the plan to implement the ban – using powers already in place under the Environmental Protection Act – which is expected to come into force at the end of 2024 or the start of 2025, during a visit to a school on Monday.
