What Has Changed (as of 1 June 2025)

  • Sale, supply, offer for sale or possession for sale of all single‑use (disposable) vapes is now illegal in the UK, both in-store and online.
  • The ban applies to all disposables, regardless of nicotine content.
  • Retailers were given a 6‑month sell‑off period before enforcement began; violations may result in fines starting from £200, increasing to unlimited fines or imprisonment for repeat offences.

What Is Illegal

  • Any vape device that is non‑reusable, non‑rechargeable, non‑refillable, or lacks replaceable pods or coils.
  • All disposable vapes, including high-puff single use variants like BM600, Elf Bar, Titan, etc..
  • Even nicotine-free disposables fall under the prohibition.

What Is Still Legal

  • Reusable vape devices, including:
    • Rechargeable kits with prefilled or refillable pods.
    • Devices with replaceable coils, tanks, or pod systems.
  • Refillable pod systems (prefilled pods inserted into reusable kits).
  • Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) – patches, gum, lozenges – remain unaffected.
