"On December 11, 2024, the Welsh Ministers enacted the Environmental Protection (Single-use Vapes) (Wales) Regulations 2024, which will take effect on June 1, 2025. These regulations aim to mitigate environmental pollution and protect animal health by controlling single-use vape articles under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Regulatory Enforcement and Sanctions Act 2008. The Welsh Ministers consulted stakeholders, including local authorities and industry representatives, and published notices in the London Gazette and Western Mail. The regulations emphasize regulatory principles and local authority enforcement to ensure compliance. The Senedd Cymru approved the draft regulations before their enactment."
