After Disposable Vape Ban, Britons Throw Away Reusables Instead
(Bloomberg) – New research, according to new research, uninhabited Vapes ban cannot stop users who still behave like hearing products.
Environmental legislation has made the proposal to sell disposable Vapes in the UK since June 1, to reduce youth use, and to combat toxic and flammable waste with a bubble amount.
However, early evidence shows that the ferries usually use only once without reusing products, and because of convenience and re -filled models are the fact that they are now the same pricing as illegal disposable. According to the latest data of the consumer research firm Nielseniq, reusable Vapes sales left behind the number of capsules used to re -fill in June and July.
Sarah We came to the point where the bans come in, and in fact nothing looks so different, Sarak said Sarah Jackson, a man in the alcohol and tobacco research group in the University College. “Currently, those who are legally available have a charging point, it is possible to replace or refill. But they are in almost the same packaging sold for almost the same prices.”
Critics, a policy adopted by the workers’ government from the previous conservative administration, will not lead to behavioral change. It did not contain minimum pricing measures or packaging rules. In addition, stores selling vaftes to sell bean to go with them do not need.
In the meantime, the Markets Association, according to Communication Director Chris Noice, “they helped to turn reusable vaps into disposable ones because people can rely on what they need to re -use them”.
According to Nielseniq data, 7.8 million reusable kits were sold in July with a steamer and a filling bean. Although it showed that more kits were sold in both months in both months, it was less than a million than June.
In general, the number of vaps sold has fallen in the last months of the ban, showing data, which shows that there is a change in the public’s vaping attitudes.
A government spokesman, “disposable Vapes children tied nicotine and mislead our lower streets with garbage-so we took a difficult action and banned them,” he said.
Sözcü said that trade standards and local authorities have helped to implement the ban and 10,500 recycling boxes have been put in the UK stores since April.
The government also forces the tobacco and Vapes bill through parliament. The proposed legislation includes regulations on advertising, packaging and Vapes design to combat youth vaping.
The focus on the packaging seems to be for popular Vape brands, including Elfar and Lost Mary, both produced by the same Chinese manufacturer. Environmental campaigns, the appearance and price of reusable vaps-usually £ 5.99 ($ 8,10)-people are very similar to those who are accustomed to the disposable ones.
In July, Elfar and Lost Mary launched a survey in which 84% of its users said they had purchased refill, and 8% said they bought a new device every time. Elfar E -Post said, iz We expect the new reusable and reproducible formats to be aware and familiar with. ”
However, opponents, including the British American Tobacco PLC, a manufacturer of Dunhill cigarettes, see Vaping as part of a transition away from traditional cigarette products, say that the government should do more to apply the spirit of the ban.
Asli Erguccu, Bat’s Western European Regional Director, consumers buy these new vapors as disposable.
Although BAT sells some of the ferry vapors at a price similar to Elfar and Lost Mary, some of them have started to market more expensive products with Bluetooth and other technologies, about £ 30, consumers are likely to make them think about throwing them out twice after a use.
In July, Imperial Brands PLC is trying to position itself as a “responsible manufacturer için to encourage the guidance around the ban, who wrote to the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Department. The company pointed out the steps taken to ensure that the shops are filled with the Blu brand Vapes brand, which is competitively priced to competitors such as Elfar.
“Manufacturers must have stable to ask for a better word in the sale of more pods,” said Deirdre Healy, Head of Corporate and Legal Affairs of Imperial. “And I don’t think we’ve seen this yet.”
According to Scott Butler, General Manager of Material Focus, the most important thing is to raise public awareness because most people are not aware of the consequences of the thrown vaps. The environmental group, which predicts that approximately 8.2 million were thrown or incorrectly recycled last year last year.
There is a fire connected to a lithium -ion battery, he said, “mainly a ferry in the wrong time,” he said.
