UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announces a ban on disposable vapes and plans to restrict vape flavors to combat rising usage among children. The proposed legislation also makes it illegal for those born after January 1, 2009, to buy tobacco, aligning with the PM's goal for a smoke-free generation. Enforcement agencies receive £30m annually to enforce measures, including new fines for illegal vape sales to children. The ban aims to be in effect by the end of 2025. Health and environmental campaigners welcome the move amid concerns about the environmental impact of disposable vapes.
