Q01283: Are single-use vapes illegal?


Answer
From the 1st June 2025, single-use (disposable) vapes were banned from sale and supply within England and Wales for environmental reasons. This means that vapes that are not rechargeable or refillable, will no longer be sold. 
 
Reusable vapes are still available for use. To be reusable, a vape must have: 
  • a rechargeable battery
  • a refillable container that holds the vaping e-liquid (such as a chamber, capsule, cartridge, pod or tank)
  • a removable and replaceable coil (if the vape contains a coil)
