It is now illegal for any business in the UK to sell or supply single-use vapes. The ban, which came into force on June 1, is aimed at protecting children’s health and the environment.
Vapes are made of plastics that do not break down in the environment, are often littered and introduce harmful substances into the ecosystem.
However, the SRFS is worried people will now start to stockpile them, which could lead to a serious incident.
