The ban on single-use vapes, implemented nearly a year ago, aimed to address health and environmental concerns associated with disposable vaping products.
Current data suggests that while there have been some modest improvements, the overall impact on public health and ecological outcomes remains limited.
Additionally, the policy has introduced new challenges that may complicate the intended benefits, necessitating a reassessment of its effectiveness in the broader context of waste management and public health infrastructure.
