UK Government to Announce Disposable E-cigarette Ban Details Soon
A prominent UK distributor reports the government will reveal details of the disposable e-cigarette ban on Friday, effective April 1, 2025.

Recently, a well-known distributor in the UK stated that the British government will announce details of a ban on disposable e-cigarettes this Friday (September 6) and will confirm that the ban will come into effect on April 1, 2025. As of the time of writing (11:30 Beijing time on September 7), no relevant news websites have published the latest information about the disposable e-cigarette ban. In addition, 2Firsts has noted that the Better Retailing website, which originally reported this news, has since taken down the related article.


In January of this year, the UK government announced a full ban on disposable e-cigarettes in response to the issue of underage e-cigarette addiction. However, the policy has yet to be implemented, with much attention focused on the timing and specific details of its enforcement.


Firsts will continue to monitor the latest developments regarding the disposable ban in the UK and provide real-time updates on related news.
