💨 Abstract

As a ban on single-use vapes in the UK approaches on June 1, retailers are slashing prices and users are panic-buying. The ban aims to reduce plastic waste and deter youth vaping, with fines up to £600 for improper disposal. Refillable vapes will remain available, but some users prefer the convenience of disposables. Meanwhile, vaping's environmental impact and health risks are highlighted by stories of lung injuries and increasing youth vaping rates.
