There is no doubt about it vaping is certainly an alternative which is 95% less harmful than smoking as found by Public Health England in their evidence review. Some of the main findings also include that e-cigarettes release negligible amounts of nicotine into the environment, and no health risks to bystanders (e.g passive smoking) have been identified.

In January 2024, the government announced that disposable vapes will be banned in England. The Scottish Government and Welsh Government have also confirmed they intend to introduce legislation.

A disposable vape has a very short life span and, as well as encouraging youth vaping, they are harmful to our environment with more than 2.5 million disposable vapes being discarded on a weekly basis.

Not only are precious resources wasted in their manufacture and disposal, but far too many are being carelessly discarded - this littering blights our communities and pollutes our soil and water.

The ban outlined by the UK Government will come into place as of April 1st 2025.

As a legitimate licensed & regulated vape store that makes an active effort to only stock UK-made e-liquid, with a mission to help customers make the switch from traditional cigarettes and disposables to a more eco-friendly & cost-effective alternative, we at Cloud 9 couldn’t be happier with the government’s choice to ban disposable vapes.
