Children will be better protected from respiratory illnesses and nicotine addiction from today (29 October 2026), as new restrictions on the sale and promotion of vapes and nicotine products come into force across the UK.
More than a million children are estimated to have tried vaping, with more than 370,000 vaping regularly, putting them at a higher risk of developing respiratory illnesses.
Selling nicotine-containing vapes to under 18s was already illegal. But from today, products that were not previously covered by existing age-of-sales rules, such as nicotine-free vapes and nicotine pouches, strips and pearls, will become illegal.
