💨 Abstract
The UK has banned the sale and supply of single-use vapes to protect children's health and reduce environmental damage. Shops can no longer sell them legally, but people can still use them. The ban, enforced by council Trading Standards, carries fines and potential imprisonment for violations. Many users plan to turn to the black market. Single-use vapes are harmful due to toxic waste and environmental issues. Vaping's popularity surged, with a significant portion favoring the ban.
