Belgium has become the first country in the EU to ban disposable vapes as a measure to protect young people from nicotine addiction and safeguard the environment.
Belgium’s health minister, Frank Vandenbroucke, described electronic cigarettes as "an extremely harmful product that damages society and the environment," emphasizing the need for stricter regulations.
With the implementation of this ban, Belgium aims to reduce new smokers to zero or near zero by 2040, showcasing a commitment to public health.
The health minister points out that disposable e-cigarettes are designed to attract new consumers, posing serious health risks due to their nicotine content.
