Disposable vapes could be banned in Jersey in 2025

Ministers said the proposition would benefit islanders' health and the environment

Islanders may be unable to buy disposable vapes in Jersey from April 2025.

The ban would come as part of the move to change the Single Use Plastics Law to include disposable vapes.

Deputy Steve Luce, the Environment Minister and the Infrastructure Minister Constable Andy Jehan said the proposition would benefit people's health and the environment.

It would be an expansion to the law which has been used to ban single-use plastic bags since 2022.

Mr Luce said the aim was to lodge the proposition in early September with a proposed debate date of late October.
