06:54 AM EDT, 10/29/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The UK government implemented new rules on the sale and promotion of vapes and nicotine products under the country's Tobacco and Vapes Act, according to a Thursday release. The measures ban the sale of nicotine-free vapes, nicotine pouches, strips and pearls to anyone under 18. Adults aged 18 or over will also commit an offence if they buy, or attempt to buy, vaping or nicotine products on behalf of someone under 18. The rules also prohibit physical and online shops from offering promotional giveaways and "substantial" promotional discounts on the products, and ban vending machines that sell or dispense them.
