The Sun, edited by Mandy - On the evening of March 28 (London time zone), the UK 'The Sun' published a report that ' highly addictive fruit-flavored vapes popular with kids set to be banned.

 

It is reported that the UK's disposable flavored e-cigarettes are facing a ban, and the country's Public Health Minister Neil O 'Brien has announced new crackdowns on disposable e-cigarette products and counterfeit nicotine products.

 

Neil O 'Brien will launch a call for evidence to investigate the appearance and characteristics of disposable e-cigarette products, including brand, marketing, color, and taste.

 

Neil O 'Brien will deliver an important speech on smoking in early April to express the government's concerns and consult experts on protecting young children.

 

According to NHS data in 2021, almost one in 10 people aged 11-15 in the UK is using e-cigarettes frequently, with a proportion of 10 %, while this figure was only 6 % in 2018. Among people over the age of 15, the proportion is 20 %.

 

The report also said that 52.8 % of e-cigarette users in the UK used disposable products such as ELFBAR last year.

In addition, the DAILY MAIL published a report at 9 am on March 29 London time zone, 'fruit and candy-flavored vapes could be 'BANNED ' amid fears that millions of children are getting hooked.'
