Herbal vapes often contain natural ingredients such as chamomile , lavender and melatonin , which are known for their relaxing and sleep-promoting properties . These ingredients can offer additional therapeutic benefits , helping users unwind after a stressful day or improve their sleep quality .
The UK regulatory landscape
In the UK , herbal vapes can be sold and used legally if they do not contain nicotine or any other controlled substances . However , the industry is still relatively young , and there is limited research on the long-term health effects of herbal vaping .
This lack of scientific evidence surrounding herbal vapes has led to calls for stricter regulations , particularly regarding the quality and safety of these products . The UK government has indicated its intention to review the existing regulations to ensure consumer safety and prevent the sale of potentially harmful products .
A growing trend
Herbal vapes are becoming increasingly popular in the UK , particularly among young adults . This trend is driven by a combination of factors , including the desire to avoid nicotine , the appeal of natural ingredients , and the novelty of the product .
