Disposable vapes will be banned in England as early as next week

DISPOSABLE vapes will be banned in England to stop children getting addicted, under government plans to be unveiled as early as next week.

Single-use devices sold in bright colours and “bubblegum” sweet flavours are seen as encouraging kids to smoke.

The decision will be revealed in a Health Department consultation – pencilled in for next week, the Telegraph said.

Health bosses say 11.6 per cent of 11 to 17-year-olds have vaped – up from 7.7 per cent last year.

Ministers don’t plan to copy Australia by banning vaping as they feel e-cigs help smokers quit.
