Businesses must sell disposable vape stock prior to 1st June 2025 following the UK Government’s introduction of legislation to ban the sale and supply of single-use vapes in England next year.
Equivalent bans will be introduced by the Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish Governments, also taking effect from June 1 2025, with Trading Standards set to enforce the ban in each local area.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has announced a dedicated slot in its upcoming Business Readiness Forum forum to provide more information to businesses about the ban offer an opportunity to ask questions, taking place on November 12.
The Business Readiness Forum is scheduled for Tuesday 12th November from 2pm to 4pm via Microsoft Live, with no pre-registration required. For more information and to add the event to your calendar, click here.
