When people in Cardiff were asked about the disposable vape ban they agreed that it was a good thing.
Mr Mcginley had quit smoking for ten years before starting vaping two years ago.
“I have really struggled to get off of nicotine,” he said.
“It is not something I am really proud of doing, I have kids and I don’t want to see them do it.
“I think lowering that entry barrier is a good thing.”
The Welsh government had previously called for a ban on disposable vapes, but has now confirmed the date it will come into effect.
Mr Irranca Davies said the new regulations would “prohibit the supply of single-use vapes in Wales” and was another step in “tackling litter and plastic pollution which blight our environment”.
He added: “It will reduce the amount of waste we generate, protecting our communities, wildlife and ecosystems for future generations to enjoy”.
The banning of disposable vapes was first announced in January by the previous UK government under Rishi Sunak, but it was unclear whether it would carry over after Labour’s general election victory.
Henry Hall, 18, recalled an experience with illegal disposable vapes with his friend.
“We used to stand in the corridors in year 11, and a guy in year seven tried to sell us vapes, which is really emblematic of where the country has gone, he would of been 11,” he said.
There are concerns that a ban could fuel an already growing black market of illegal vapes which can have higher nicotine content.
Earlier this year, Swansea council said it had seized more than 140,000 illegal vapes in the span of a few months.
