The e-cigarette brand Juul has been banned in the UK after MPs raised concerns about its impact on young people. The decision comes as part of a crackdown on “vaping” products, which have previously been blamed for luring children into smoking. It is illegal to sell or supply any vaping product to anyone under 18 years old, but campaigners have warned that children are still able to access them online. Last year, Public Health England revealed that nearly two thirds of 15 and 16-year-olds had tried an e-cigarette at least once.

Here’s everything you need to know about Juul and why it’s been banned in the UK.

What is Juul?

Juul is a brand of electronic cigarette that uses nicotine salts rather than traditional freebase nicotine. This means that it is said to be less harsh than other brands of e-cigarettes and can be used by smokers who are trying to quit. There are four flavours available: mango, mint, Virginia tobacco and cool cucumber.

Juul devices are also smaller than other e-cigarettes, making them easier for young people to conceal from adults.
