Plans To Ban Sale Of Disposable Vapes
Major changes are on the way for whose who vape.
Single use vapes are going to be completely banned while flavoured nicotine will also be prohibited.
It’s estimated there are 15,000 flavour combinations at the moment.
Health Minister Stephen Donnelly says the legislation is about making vaping less appealing to young people.
"The proposed legislation would bring in a ban on flavors.
"We'd be starting with just one flavor, but, the Minister of the day could expand that, if required [like] a ban on some of the color around the packaging and the products themselves restrictions on a point of sale as well," said Minister Donnelly.
The plans would need the approval of the Oireachtas before they become law.
In December last year, the Government banned the sale of capes to those under the age of 18.
