Read moreThe Council of State in the Swiss canton of Fribourg has launched a consultation on a preliminary draft law aimed at reinforcing youth protection against nicotine addiction. Aligned with the federal LPTab (Tobacco Products Act), the proposal introduces a sweeping ban on the sale, distribution, and manufacturing of disposable vaping devices (“puffs”). It also mandates rigorous test purchases to enforce age limits and imposes stricter advertising restrictions than federal law, targeting public spaces, cinemas, and cultural events.
Read moreIrish lawmakers are being urged to tighten the legal definition of “single-use vapes” in upcoming legislation. Critics warn that copying the UK’s wording could allow manufacturers to exploit loopholes, such as adding fake charging ports to disposable devices to evade the ban.
Read moreA coalition of fifty organizations and school principals, led by the Estonian Green Movement, has submitted a public appeal to government ministries demanding a complete ban on disposable e-cigarettes in Estonia by 2027.

Read moreSingle-use disposable vapes are set to be banned in Germany by the end of 2026. This is due to an EU-wide regulation prohibiting devices with non-removable, non-rechargeable batteries to combat environmental waste. Manufacturers are already pivoting to compliant, reusable pod systems.
Read moreThe Channel Islands have enacted a total ban on the import and sale of disposable vapes effective this Saturday (2026-02-01), initiating a major shift in local tobacco policy. While government officials cite rising youth usage rates as the primary driver, local traders argue the measure will fail to curb consumption and paradoxically increase environmental waste.

Read moreGuernsey is set to enforce a total ban on disposable vapes starting this Saturday (1, Feb,2026), marking a decisive shift in the island’s public health policy. The new legislation prohibits both the sale and importation of single-use devices, targeting the colorful, high-nicotine products that officials say are fueling youth addiction. Retailers are currently clearing stock at bargain prices, but come the weekend, any remaining inventory will be illegal to sell, and customs officers will begin seizing shipments at the border.
Read moreThe Consumer Choice Center (CCC) argues that Germany’s proposed ban on disposable e-cigarettes is ineffective “symbolic politics” that could harm public health by discouraging smokers from switching to less harmful alternatives. They contend that existing EU regulations set for 2027 make a national ban unnecessary and that environmental concerns should focus on larger sources of e-waste.
Key Takeaways:
- Wrong Signal: The ban may suggest vapes are worse than cigarettes, hindering smoking cessation.
- EU Redundancy: Stricter EU-wide battery rules in 2027 already address disposables.
- E-Waste Context: Toys produce estimated 77x more e-waste than vapes.
- Harm Reduction: CCC urges focus on harm reduction strategies like those in Sweden.
