Liberal Democrats Support UK Prime Minister's Disposable e-cigarette Ban
Liberal Democrats back UK PM Rishi Sunak's plan to ban disposable e-cigarettes, aiming to protect children from exposure.

According to a report on Forecourttrader on June 11th, the UK Liberal Democrats have expressed strong support for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's plan to ban disposable e-cigarettes.


The party is led by Sir Ed Davey, and the Liberal Democrats have announced plans to ban the sale of disposable e-cigarette products and ensure that children cannot access e-cigarettes.


The latest opinion polls suggest that support for the Liberal Democratic Party is expected to be between 8% and 12% in the upcoming election. Many believe that this marginal constituency in southern England, currently controlled by the Conservative Party, could perform well, as the party hopes to gain enough seats to hold the balance of power in a hung parliament, much like it did in forming a coalition with the Conservatives under David Cameron's leadership after the 2010 election.
