According to a report by Suffolk News on November 7th, the British government is advancing a ban on disposable e-cigarettes, and the Suffolk County Council has explicitly expressed its support.
In the past year, particularly among the youth, the usage rate of e-cigarettes has surged to 20.5% among all children. The government has initiated consultations to address this issue. A heated discussion took place during the November 7th meeting of the Suffolk County Council, with members suggesting the need to regulate the appeal of e-cigarette use among children. They emphasized that while e-cigarettes are helpful in reducing smoking, the situation concerning children's usage is becoming increasingly concerning.
The use of disposable e-cigarettes has further exacerbated environmental pollution and put additional pressure on recycling efforts, and even raises the risk of fires. The government's current consultation will continue until December 6th, at which point a decision will be made on whether to completely ban the sale of disposable e-cigarettes or to simply strengthen restrictions and enforcement measures.
