The UK is set to implement a ban on disposable vapes starting June 1, causing anxiety among users and retailers. This decision aims to reduce environmental impact and protect young people from vaping.
Cara Hallinan, a 25-year-old vaper, expresses concern about the ban. She has been stockpiling disposable vapes, fearing a return to cigarette smoking. Cara, like many others, finds disposable vapes convenient and worries about the transition to rechargeable devices.
Vape retailers report a surge in sales as customers rush to buy their favorite flavors before the ban. Some shop owners, like Nick from Mist Vapes, are concerned about the impact on their businesses. They fear losing customers to cigarette sales and having to discard unsold stock.
