17 Of The Most Unhinged Reactions To The UK's Single-Use Vape Ban

Vapers found shaking, crying, throwing up.

Disposable vapes are set to be banned under new laws in hope to protect those aged under 18 from being addicted. The decision could come to fruition as early as next week after the government agreed that the products target children.

From child-friendly packaging to flavours such as strawberry ice cream and raspberry slush, it’s no surprise that these sweet-tasting nicotine sticks are causing kids to be addicted. Not to mention how easy it is to get your hands on a vape that contains 2% nicotine – the highest concentration allowed in the UK.

Science and Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan told Sky News: “This is a very worrying trend that we’re seeing, of young children taking up vaping that had never smoked before, and it is extremely dangerous to their health and their wellbeing is something that we do need to act on.”

If you’re prone to sucking on a Blue Razz Lemonade vape, or maybe you become feral after a few bevvies on a night out and start inhaling your best friend’s vape – you might want to check out these reactions of people collectively losing their minds.

We love an optimistic queen, TBH

Yes, banning disposable vapes will help stop those underage from getting their hands on an Elf Bar so easily, and with 1.3 million disposable vapes ending up in landfill each week, it definitely is a step in the right direction. But for those using vapes instead of cigarettes, is it as simple as swapping to a reusable vape? Only time will tell.
