Details
Following a UK wide consultation, the Welsh Government announced that it proposes to ban single-use vapes in Wales from 1 April 2025. Reusable vapes will be unaffected by this change.
Our aim is to reduce the environmental damage caused by the use and disposal of single-use vapes and encourage people to use reusable alternatives.

The UK is a party to the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and so has an obligation to protect the development of public health policy from the vested interests of the tobacco industry.
To meet this obligation, we ask all respondents to disclose whether they have any direct or indirect links to, or receive funding from, the tobacco industry.
