These devices are often disposables that come with intense flavours and high levels of nicotine. Although they can be beneficial for adult smokers who want to quit smoking, they can be dangerous for minors. Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) has revealed that 11% of 11-17 year olds have tried vaping<sup><a href=\"#sources\">[1]<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Vaping products are available in various stores, such as supermarkets, pharmacies, and vape shops. These stores use age-restriction known as the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/rasg.org.uk\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">challenge 25<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there has been an increase in the availability of vaping products in non-traditional stores that do not typically sell age-restricted items. Unfortunately, these shops are also the primary source of vapes that end up in the hands of underage users. According to ASH, 26% of 11-17 year olds who currently use vapes say they purchase them from a newsagent, corner shop, or off licence<sup><a href=\"#sources\">[1]<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another issue is the low penalties that retailers receive for selling to underage individuals. The maximum fine is only \u00a32,500. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"EB\">What is Elf Bar doing to help?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/elf-bar-600-V2-20-flavours.jpg\" alt=\"elf bar 600 V2 20 flavours\" class=\"wp-image-21517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/elf-bar-600-V2-20-flavours.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/elf-bar-600-V2-20-flavours-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/elf-bar-600-V2-20-flavours-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/elf-bar-600-V2-20-flavours-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/elf-bar-600-V2-20-flavours-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Flavours are incredibly important to the success of vaping as a stop smoking tool.

It&#8217;s renaming some of the most popular choices to reduce this, such as bubble gum, cotton candy and gummy bear. These have been changed to BG, P &amp; B Cloudd and Gami respectively. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Elf Bar also wants the sale of vapes to be more restricted, stating, &#8220;The introduction of such a regime would mitigate children&#8217;s access to vapes and make it easier for the authorities to better regulate the sale of vaping devices&#8221;<sup><a href=\"#sources\">[3]<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"future\">The future of vaping in the UK <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UK-law.jpg\" alt=\"Reduce Youth Vaping UK law\" class=\"wp-image-21444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UK-law.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UK-law-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UK-law-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UK-law-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UK-law-75x75.jpg 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Is this change by Elf Bar too little, too late? The government&#8217;s vape consultation ended on Wednesday 6th December. It asked for feedback regarding flavour description, packaging, flavours, display and a possible disposable ban. Even the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theelectroniccigarette.co.uk\/blog\/ibvta-speak-out-against-uk-vape-restrictions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IBVTA appealed<\/a> for people to have their say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worst case scenario is that vape packaging becomes plain, flavours are banned and disposables are made illegal. However, we don&#8217;t see any of these being implemented.
