The sale of disposable vapes is set to be banned under proposals going to Cabinet.

The Minister for Health is expected to get Government approval to draft these laws which will ban the sale, manufacture or import of single-use or disposable vapes in Ireland.

Stephen Donnelly plans to introduce this ban on environmental and public health grounds.

    Should be banned everywhere smh. It’s crazy that people are just chucking lithium into the garbage for no reason…when vapes started as an easily reusable setup in the firth place.

      I remember in the beginning using flashlight batteries, rebuildable atomizers and local house made juices. Im off the nicotine totally now but the scenes changed so much since then, not in the greatest of ways either.

        Gov’ts in my area keep ranting about how many kids are vaping, forgetting that they set it up that way by banning RTAs/RDAs and only selling disposables.

        How dumb must you be to do that, and throw your hands in the air while yelling “We don’t understand why!”
