Ystyrir e-sigaréts yn llawer llai niweidiol na thybaco, ond nid ydynt yn ddiberygl. Yn ôl adroddiadau mae effeithiau tymor byr yn cynnwys peswch, pendro, dolur gwddf a chur pen, ac nid ydym yn gwybod beth yw'r effeithiau hirdymor eto. Mae e-sigarets y gellir ei defnyddio untro yn unig yn niweidio'r amgylchedd. Mae llawer ohonynt yn anodd i'w hailgylchu ac felly'n cyrraedd safleoedd tirlenwi, lle maent yn torri i lawr ac yn rhyddhau cemegau peryglus.

From 1 June 2025, a new law stopped the sale of disposable vapes in England, Scotland, and Wales.

This change is mainly about reducing waste and protecting the environment. Research from Material Focus in 2024 found that an estimated 8.2 million vapes are now thrown away every week or recycled incorrectly - 13 per second. The ban will also help reduce youth vaping because disposables continue to be the most popular product among young people who vape.

However, this ban doesn't mean the end of vaping. Reusable, rechargeable vapes will still be available. These are a more environmentally friendly option for adults who want help quitting smoking. If you're already thinking about stopping vaping, now could be a great time to make a lasting, positive change. Using the 'Your Quit Plan' Tool will help you to succeed.

What does the ban mean?

From 1 June 2025, only reusable, rechargeable, and refillable vapes are legally available in Wales. If you plan to keep vaping, here's what you should know:

Reusable vapes come in many styles and nicotine strengths, so you can find one that fits you.

Reusable vapes may cost more at first, but they are usually cheaper to use than disposable vapes over time.

Recycling vapes is important because it saves valuable materials. Nearly 80% of a vape can be reused, including enough lithium to power thousands of electric cars each year if everyone recycled their vapes.

All vape retailers should offer a 'take back' service for used vapes, pods, coils, and batteries. You can find your nearest vape recycling point here.

It is illegal to sell or buy nicotine-containing vapes for anyone under 18 years old. Selling or purchasing vapes for children under 18 is against the law and fines can be issued to retailers or individuals who break these laws.

Mae fepio yn llai niweidiol nag ysmygu, ond nid yw’n ddi-risg. Mae’r rhan fwyaf o fêps yn cynnwys nicotin, sy’n gaethiwus. Gall nicotin ei gwneud hi’n anoddach i chi ganolbwyntio a gall hefyd achosi problemau gyda chwsg, cur pen a hwyliau. Mae effeithiau hirdymor fêpio yn dal i gael eu hastudio, ond mae ymchwil gynnar yn dangos y gallai effeithio ar iechyd eich calon a’ch ysgyfaint, yn enwedig os oes gennych chi broblemau iechyd eisoes.

Vaping is less harmful than smoking, but it is not risk-free. Most vapes contain nicotine, which is addictive. Nicotine can make it harder for you to concentrate and can also cause problems with sleep, headaches, and mood. The long-term effects of vaping are still being studied, but early research shows it could affect your heart and lung health, especially if you already have health problems.

Health and Well-being is a broad and dynamic area of the curriculum, however, the expertise to implement this area (from design through to delivery) is not necessarily already embedded within schools. In response, Public Health Wales Educational Settings team has established a time-limited Health and Well-being Curriculum Project that brings together the Health and Education sectors to co-construct curriculum toolkits and resources for schools to develop and deliver key health and well-being themes as part of the Health and Well-being Area of Learning and Experience.
