Glasgow councillors call for ban over health and littering concerns
Glasgow councillors have backed calls for a ban on the sale of disposable vapes due to health and environmental concerns.
Environment committee members voiced concerns that brightly coloured and sweetly flavoured single-use vapes are designed to appeal to underage users, and could damage their health through regular use. Councillor Paul McCabe, SNP, said: “In five minutes, 600 of these in the UK will be disposed of. It’s quite a frightening statistic. When you look at the make-up of some of these vape pens, they are not environmentally friendly.”
A council official said currently businesses can sell the products if they are registered with the Scottish Government. However, he said it should be looked into as the council has been “made aware recently of a frozen food shop starting to sell single-use vapes.”He added: “We need to look at the penalties for it as well.”
