Public Health (Single-Use Vapes) Bill 2025: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2026-03-04
============================================================

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor (FF), Carlow-Kilkenny

I thank everyone. The Bill will now go to the Seanad. Some questions came up from Deputies. All the Deputies' points were very relevant. I thank them for their valuable contributions to the debate on this important Bill.
Yesterday, the Government approved publication of our other Bill on nicotine products. I will provide an update on that. The Bill will prohibit the sale of nicotine-consumption products, such as pouches, to those under 18; prohibit the advertisement of nicotine-inhaling and nicotine-consumption products in all retail outlets and prohibit their point-of-sale display in mixed retail outlets; restrict colours and imagery on nicotine-inhaling products, devices and packaging, as well as prohibit the sale of devices resembling or functioning as other products such as toys or games; prohibit all flavour descriptors and language other than basic flavour names for nicotine-inhaling products; limit flavours in nicotine-inhaling products to tobacco; and grant the power to make changes by regulation.
These two Bills together form a comprehensive suite of measures to reduce the availability, affordability and attractiveness of these products. All of us here tonight want to do the right thing and get these Bills passed. It is important we do so as soon as possible.
