UK weighs vaping ban in cars with children and school grounds
Britain’s government has opened a 12‑week public consultation on banning smoking and vaping in cars carrying children, in playgrounds and around schools, and extending heated-tobacco restrictions to indoor spaces and certain outdoor hospital areas, while allowing vaping outdoors to aid quitting; homes would remain unchanged. If enacted, enforcement would mirror existing smoke‑free laws as part of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, with the consultation running until May 8, 2026.
