Are menthol cigarettes banned in the UK?

Yes. Characterising flavours such as menthol have been prohibited in cigarettes and hand-rolling tobacco in the UK since May 2020. The restriction concerns tobacco cigarettes and roll-your-own tobacco; vaping products are regulated under a different framework.

Are menthol-flavoured vapes legal?

Menthol-flavoured vaping products can currently be sold in the UK provided the product complies with the applicable vaping-product rules. This is separate from the ban on menthol cigarettes. Because regulation can change, check the latest government tobacco and vaping guidance when making decisions.

How are menthol vapes different from menthol cigarettes?

A vape heats e-liquid rather than burning tobacco. A menthol flavour describes the flavour profile of the e-liquid; it does not turn the product into a cigarette or recreate tobacco combustion. Device formats also differ. Some products use refillable tanks, while others use sealed prefilled cartridges or pods.

Ezee offers a compact cigalike format using replaceable prefilled cartridges. This is a product-format description, not a smoking-cessation claim.

What about nicotine strength?

Menthol flavour and nicotine content are separate characteristics. Products may be available in different nicotine strengths, and some products are nicotine-free. Always check the label and use only compatible consumables intended for the device.

If you smoke and want to quit

The NHS provides evidence-based stop-smoking guidance, including information about vaping and licensed nicotine-replacement therapies. Ezee products are consumer vaping products and are not presented as medicinally licensed stop-smoking medicines.
