Jersey proposes ban on disposable e-cigarette sales starting in 2025
Jersey plans to ban the sale and supply of disposable e-cigarettes from April 2025, aligning with similar measures in the UK and Guernsey.

Jersey plans to ban the sale and supply of disposable e-cigarettes from April 2025, according to an October 30 BBC report. If passed, the government will update existing single-use plastic legislation to impose a complete ban on disposable e-cigarettes.

 

Andy Jehan told the States Assembly that a significant proportion of young people are using disposable e-cigarettes, raising social concerns. These devices cause serious environmental damage as most are not recycled.

 

"The widespread use of disposable e-cigarettes leads to problematic disposal methods. The materials used in each device, including plastic, metal and lithium batteries, are at odds with commitments to reduce waste, maximize resources and move towards a circular economy," said Jehan.

 

The proposal, which follows similar measures in the United Kingdom and Guernsey, is expected to be debated in the States Assembly as early as December 10.
