The UK says it will ban disposable vapes and curb candy-flavoured e-cigarettes aimed at kids

It is currently illegal to sell vapes or tobacco to children under 18 in the UK, but officials say that youth vaping has tripled in the past three years, and that cheap, colorful disposable vapes are a "key driver". As well as banning disposable vapes, the government says it will "restrict flavours which are specifically marketed at children" and ensure that manufacturers put vapes in "less visually appealing packaging".
