A British Member of Parliament is set to submit a bill to Parliament next week aimed at banning the sale of disposable e-cigarettes and e-cigarettes.
Caroline Johnson, the Member of Parliament for Sleaford and North Hykenham, which includes Great Gonerby, Barrowby, Marston, and Cranwell, has announced plans to introduce a bill after a National Health Service investigation in 2020 revealed that nearly one in five (18%) 15-year-olds in the area believed they were e-cigarette users.
Dr. Johnson, a pediatrician in the UK's National Health Service (NHS) and a member of Parliament's Committee on Health and Social Care, will emphasize the ban on disposable e-cigarettes and the potential positive impact of e-cigarettes on the country in the "10-Minute Rule Bill" on Wednesday, February 8th.
Johnson said, "Reusable e-cigarettes and vaping devices are still an important aid for quitting smoking, but I am concerned that the colorful, child-friendly, disposable alternatives are enticing non-smokers into addictive behavior, potentially creating a new generation of nicotine addicts.
I look forward to soon submitting my bill to parliament, and emphasizing the impact of disposable electronic cigarettes and e-cigarettes on the health and natural environment of our country.
The Scottish government has officially commissioned an "emergency review of the environmental impact and management of disposable electronic cigarettes".
This review is intended to address concerns over the negative consequences of disposable e-cigarettes, providing information for potential policy responses, which may include prohibitions on the use of these products.
