Blue Hole New Consumer Report, news on April 22, the British Electronic Cigarette Association UKVIA stated that before considering banning the use of disposable electronic cigarettes, more measures can be taken to reduce environmental waste.

The vaping trade body joined experts from an all-party parliamentary environment group in Westminster earlier this week. Environment Minister Rebecca Pow pointed to the primary value of e-cigarettes as a means of helping people quit smoking and the government's second priority to prevent youth exposure to vaping.

Association director-general John Dunne agreed, claiming that more work needed to be done before a ban on disposable e-cigarettes could be considered and that such a ban would not help the hundreds of people who died from smoking-related diseases.

"Research by the Royal College of Physicians and the Cancer Research Center has shown that vaping is the best way to quit smoking, with a 95% reduction in harm. Vaping is our best chance," he said.

However, UKVIA does recognize its role in finding effective environmental solutions, noting how several UKVIA-owned waste management companies and manufacturers are creating more sustainable materials for e-cigarettes, including cardboard and biodegradable Silicone, that's a successful step forward.

Financial reporter Alexandra Heal, who was present at the same time, revealed that 138 million disposable e-cigarettes were sold last year, equivalent to two per person.
