UK Regulators Move to Strip Vapes of Color, Flavor Names
The 12-week consultation, opened today by four UK health departments, follows the Act's April royal assent.
- Devices would be limited to white, black or grey, no cosmetic lights allowed.
- Flavor names restricted to plain descriptors like 'Apple'; candy and concept names banned.
- About a million UK teens vaped in 2025; one in five Scottish kids has tried it.
Why it mattersParliament voted in April; the real rules on color and flavor are drafted by ministers now, unvoted.
