A vape shop owner says the long-term impact of the new disposable vape ban will be seen in years to come. The ban on the sale of single-use disposable vapes was introduced on Sunday, aimed at protecting children's health and the environment.

The sale of disposable vapes will be banned in the United Kingdom from Sunday, as the country becomes the latest to tackle the “environmental nightmare” of the single-use devices. However, some campaigners warn that the new restrictions are just “a drop in the ocean” in the war against plastic waste.
