On the evening of March 28th in London, the UK newspaper The Sun reported that highly addictive fruit-flavored electronic cigarettes, which are popular with children, are set to be banned.
According to reports, a disposable flavored e-cigarette in the United Kingdom is facing a ban. The country's Minister of Public Health, Neil O'Brien, has announced new measures to crack down on disposable e-cigarette products and counterfeit nicotine products.
Neil O'Brien is launching an evidence gathering project to investigate the appearance and features of disposable e-cigarette products in the market, including brand, marketing, color, and flavor.
Neil O'Brien will give a significant speech in early April about the issue of smoking. He will express the government's concern and consult with experts on how to protect children and young people from the harmful effects of smoking.
According to NHS data for 2021, nearly one in ten 11-15 year olds in the UK are frequent users of e-cigarettes, with a rate of 10%, up from only 6% in 2018. The rate for those 15 years old and above is 20%.
According to the report, last year 52.8% of e-cigarette users in the UK used disposable products like ELFBAR. However, due to issues of excess nicotine content, many large supermarkets have removed ELFBAR from their shelves. However, it is still widely available in corner shops, specialty stores, and petrol stations.
On the morning of March 29th at 9 am London time, the Daily Mail released a report stating that fruit and candy-flavored electronic cigarettes may be banned due to concerns about millions of children becoming addicted.
