SINGLE USE VAPES
Date published:
DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (SINGLE-USE VAPES) (AMENDMENT) REGULATIONS (NORTHERN IRELAND) 2025.
The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs has made a Draft Statutory Rule entitled Draft Environmental Protection (Single-use Vapes) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2025.
These Draft Amending Regulations seek to introduce an effective enforcement regime in Northern Ireland to help prohibit the supply, whether by sale or otherwise in the course of business, single-use vapes. These Regulations recognise the strong support from the Northern Ireland public for a ban on single use vapes in response to the UK wide consultation on ‘Creating a Smokefree Generation and Tackling Youth Vaping’.
DAERA welcomes your representations/comments on the draft legislation. The legislation can be viewed below until Friday 30 May 2025.
