Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care Neil Gray comments on Scottish Government plans to ban the sale and supply of single-use vapes in Scotland
The UK Government has laid legislation before Parliament to restrict the sale and supply of single-use vapes in England from 1 June 2025.
Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care Neil Gray said:
“The Scottish Government was the first in the UK to commit to taking action on single use vapes.
“We have worked closely across the four nations to ensure a consistent approach to a ban on the sale and supply of single-use vapes so we can provide certainty to businesses and consumers.
“We will lay regulations to amend the current coming into force date from 1 April 2025 to 1 June 2025 to ensure a common date across the four nations.”
