On 2026-04-29, UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting vowed a crackdown on how vapes are promoted in shops, saying the government was closing loopholes on sales and advertising. He said the Department of Health would consult on vape-free spaces and later restrictions on shop display, packaging, and appearance. The action was presented as a prospective regulatory clampdown rather than an enacted ban.
