It will apply to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The ban will include all single-use vapes \u2013 whether or not they include nicotine \u2013 for sale in both shops and online.<\/p>\n<p>Minister for public health and prevention, Andrew Gwynne, explained the ban in October: \u201cBanning disposable vapes will not only protect the environment, but importantly reduce the appeal of vapes to children and keep them out of the hands of vulnerable young people.\u201d Reusable vapes will still be legal and must be both rechargeable and refillable to qualify. If the vape has a coil, it must be one that can be replaced by the average consumer. This is the part of the vape which vaporises the e-liquid.<\/p>\n<p>Defra reminded the public that distributors of vapes are legally required to provide a vape \u201ctake back\u201d scheme which accepts both vapes and vape parts for recycling. Any vapes returned after the ban comes into effect must still be accepted as part of the take back scheme. Retailers who still have stock of single-use vapes once the ban is in place must arrange for them to be recycled. Defra advised that, from 1 June 2025, any leftover single-use vaping products must be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Separated from other goods<\/li>\n<li>Labelled as unsellable<\/li>\n<li>Removed from the shopfloor or online store until they\u2019ve been collected by a registered vape recycling service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.letsrecycle.com\/news\/vape-ban-business-owners-could-face-two-years-in-prison\/\">Let&#8217;s Recycle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-654\/\">Vape ban: Business owners could face two years in prison<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[677,575,434,6301],"class_list":["post-136729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-ban","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-legislation","tag-vape"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136729"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136729\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
