Disposable Vapes Ban June 2025 FAQs 

When is the UK Disposable ban?

From 1st June 2025, all disposable vapes will be banned in the UK.

Why are disposable vapes banned?

  • Youth Vaping Concerns – Bright packaging and sweet flavours appeal to kids, making them easy to access.
  • Environmental Impact – Built-in batteries make disposables difficult to recycle, leading to increased waste and litter.

What counts as Disposable vapes?

Any vape that is not refillable, not rechargeable, and cannot be fitted with a replacement coil.

Will the flavours still be the same?

Yes, most of the brands have introduced direct replacements for the disposables.

Will I still be able to vape after the ban?

Yes, the ban only affects single-use disposable vapes. Refillable and Recharge pod systems and nicotine patches will not be affected.

Will I still be able to buy disposable vapes online?

No, they will be unavailable from June 1st. Most suppliers will not replenish the stock in May. We recommend stocking up before May, some lines are already discontinued or in limited supply. Stock them up before they’re gone or you can make the switch to alternatives today!

What are the alternatives to the disposable ban?

What vape juice tastes like disposables?

If you liked the disposable vape flavours, you’re in luck—many e-liquids are designed to match them!

  • More Sustainable – Refillable e-liquid saves money and reduces waste compared to disposables.
