Changes in expenditure on vaping in the context of the rise of disposable vapes and impending regulatory changes: a population study in Great Britain, 2021–2025
Sonia Jackson et al.
What the paper says
From 2021-2023, expenditure on vaping products increased substantially among people who vape in Great Britain, particularly during the rapid rise of disposable vaping. Between 2023-2025, overall expenditure declined slightly, with large declines in subgroups with the greatest switching away from disposables, particularly young people. An impending ban on disposable vapes in 2025, which was announced in 2024, may have been responsible for people switching away from disposables and unintentionally resulted in vaping becoming more affordable among subgroups (eg, young people) who predominantly started vaping with disposables.
