Disposable e-cigarettes banned in England and Wales

Time： 2023-09-28

The Federation of Local Governments in England and Wales has called for a ban on the sale of disposable e-cigarettes, citing their design flaws, unsustainability, waste disposal problems and environmental harm.

According to betterretailing news on September 27, recently, discussions about disposable e-cigarettes have been common in public opinion. Although disposable e-cigarettes bring considerable profits to convenience store retailers, calls for a ban on disposable e-cigarettes are also increasing. In July this year, the Local Government Alliance (LGA), representing England and Wales, called on the government to ban the sale and production of disposable e-cigarettes by 2024.

The LGA stated that the ban needs to be implemented as soon as possible, because the EU has proposed to ban the sale of disposable e-cigarettes in 2026, and France also plans to implement a ban from 2023. If corresponding policies are not formulated as soon as possible, the British market may be overwhelmed by disposable e-cigarettes. Flooded. In addition, disposable e-cigarettes pose a waste and recycling problem and have the potential to cause garbage truck fires.

Cllr Distinguished David Fothergill, LGA, said: "The city is not opposed to e-cigarettes, in comparison they cause less harm than buying cigarettes and can also be used as a smoking cessation tool. However, disposable E-cigarettes have fundamental design flaws and are unsustainable products, so recycling as much as possible will not solve the problem in the long run and would rather opt for a total ban."

Given the above factors, convenience store retailers may be concerned about the future of disposable e-cigarettes. However, even if a ban is implemented, there are still opportunities for other financially viable areas of e-cigarettes to be developed. For example, the quantity of 10ml e-cigarette liquid is five times that of disposable liquid cigarettes, and the device can be retained instead of being thrown away after one use like disposable e-cigarettes, which has a smaller impact on the environment. It is precisely because of this value that price-sensitive consumers will find that such e-cigarettes are more cost-effective.
