Over in the UK, disposable vapes are set to be banned in order to curb a nation-wide uptick in younger users.

Data shows at least 7.6 percent of 11 to 17-year olds vape regularly or occasionally, up from 4.1 percent in 2020.

The UK Government also plans to restrict sweeter flavours, introduce plain packaging and ensure store displays are hidden by 2025.

UK correspondent Gavin Grey says this is the next phase in a nation-wide measure to reduce smoking and vaping stats withing young people.
