Jul 25, 2023Disposable vape ban to be debated in Jersey
Nov 02, 2024It could be an offence to sell or supply disposable vapes in Jersey from April 2025 if a proposition is approved.
Ministers want to update an existing law on single use plastics to ban e-cigarettes.
Constable Andy Jehan, who has brought the plans to the States Assembly, said a high proportion of young people used disposable vapes.
Another concern he highlighted was that they were bad for the environment as most of them were not recycled.
He said: "The increasing popularity of single use vapes means there are more vapes being disposed of in various ways, all of which are problematic.
"The use of materials including plastics, metals and a lithium battery in each single use device starkly contrasts with sustainability commitments to reduce waste, maximise resources and reorientate behaviour towards the circular economy."
The proposition is following similar moves from the UK and Guernsey - where it will be a criminal offence.
The earliest the States Assembly can debate the proposition is 10 December.
