Disposables can act as a crucial stepping stone for smokers looking to quit because they provide an easy entry point, and after trying them many former smokers tend to eventually transition to open systems.
Concerns about the widespread use of single use vapes have been consistently growing worldwide. The main issues with the products are the fact that they are amassing an overwhelming number of waste due to its non recycle parts and their disposable nature. Moreover, the disposable and therefore non-committal and cheap factors of products, are very alluring to teens.
In response to the UK’s latest announcement, the World Vapers’ Alliance (WVA) is urging policymakers to consider the consequences this move would have and the fact that it contradicts the nation’s own successful strategy to reduce tobacco harm. “Prohibition doesn’t work. It never has, and it never will. A ban on disposable vapes will not eliminate the demand but shift it from regulated markets to the black market, creating negative, unintended public health consequences,” said WVA Director Michael Landl.
