As news of Ireland’s ban on the sale of single-use vapes spread, a shop worker in Enniskillen welcomed the move, with similar action being considered in Northern Ireland. The employee said:

The price of disposable vapes varies locally. Starting at 6 yuan, some products cost as much as 13 yuan. Shop assistants in Enniskillen said it was worrying that more young people were buying vapes.
- “Many young people who have never smoked are now using vapes,”
The clerk said:
