British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wants to slow down sales of disposable e-cigarettes. The aim is to combat the increase in consumption among young people and protect the health of children.

Manufacturers would have to produce simpler and less visually appealing packaging. Around 80,000 people die every year in the UK as a result of smoking, according to the UK Health and Environmental Association. The long-term effects of e-cigarette use are unknown, and the nicotine it contains can be addictive.
