After a couple of bleak pandemic years that saw most events cancelled, the festival season has firmly reestablished itself, with each passing summer delivering successful events all over the UK.
Since resuming, nothing much has changed. The music is still amazing, the revellers are still having the time of their lives, and the port-a-loos remain a hellish space reserved for only the bravest of mortals.
But while our festivals are largely unchanged, there is one notable exception: vaping at festivals has suddenly become a little awkward, depending on what type of vape you use and where you use it.
Almost out of nowhere, most festivals have devised various rules and regulations around vaping, largely fueled by the announcement of the disposable vape ban earlier this year.
Vaping at festivals has not been banned per se, but there are now some things to consider, such as where and how you can vape. With some festivals imposing strict rules, particularly on disposable vapes, you will need to be aware of these policies before arriving.
This short blog post will cover everything you need to know about vaping at festivals. If you find the new approach to vaping at festivals too inconvenient – the final nail in the vaping coffin, shall we say – sit tight for the end, where we present a much better, cleaner, healthier alternative to smoking and vaping.
For now, let’s take a look at the general picture of vaping at a festival.
Vaping Regulations at Festivals
In recent years, many UK festivals have become more environmentally conscious. With a growing number of attendees (several festivals had a record number of ticket requests this year), festivals are now stricter about what people can bring, particularly when it comes to disposable vapes.
Glastonbury, Reading, and Leeds are among the festivals leading the mission to ban single-use vapes due to their environmental impact. If you plan on taking a disposable vape to a festival, security may confiscateit if they locate it on your person.
Since thousands of people casually discard disposable vapes at festivals each year, it is hard to pick fault with their reasoning.
In addition, and in a similar vein to smoking, vaping is now only allowed in outdoor areas at most festivals, while it’s also best to avoid vaping inside tents or enclosed spaces. Most festivals encourage people to respect others by vaping in designated areas only.
In short, while refillable or reusable devices are allowed at most events, festivals are eliminating disposable vapes due to the environmental damage caused by improper disposal.
Why Disposable Vapes Are Banned
Disposable vapes are under scrutiny owing to the lithium-ion batteries contained within them, which present a legitimate fire risk if not disposed of properly. The problem is that single-use vapes are regularly thrown in general waste bins, meaning thousands of lithium batteries are spread throughout the refuge system.
This causes untold hazards in recycling centres, and with an estimated two million disposable vapes discarded incorrectly each week in the UK, it was a question of time before they began to address this growing problem in one way or another.
Glasto Leads the Way
Glastonbury was one of the first festivals to introduce a ban on disposable vapes, citing their environmental impact and waste disposal challenges. In doing so, the floodgates have opened, and other organisations, such as Reading and Leeds, have quickly followed suit.
Festival organisers are now promoting more eco-friendly options, such as refillable vape kits, which are less harmful to the environment and can be used anywhere.
Tips for Vaping at Festivals
There are much better alternatives to vaping these days, but If you must vape at a festival, here are some helpful tips to make life a little easier:
Go for Refillable Vapes: With the growing bans on disposable vapes, bringing a refillable vape kit is the best move. These devices not only save you a little money, but they’re also much better for the environment.
Bring Extra E-Liquid: Festivals can last for days, and you don’t want to run out of your favourite vape juice. Pack enough e-liquid to last the entire event, and consider bringing extra in case you lose any.
Use a Portable Charger: Battery life can be a concern at festivals where charging points are often limited. Think ahead, and bring a portable charger to ensure your device stays powered throughout the weekend.
Be Mindful of Others: While vaping is generally more socially acceptable than smoking cigarettes, be considerate of those around you if possible. Stick to vaping in outdoor areas and avoid blowing clouds in crowded spaces.
NEAFS Is Your Festival Friend
With the vaping rules at festivals tightening, it may be time to consider an alternative product.
NEAFS delivers a safer, cleaner, and far more festival-friendly alternative to traditional vapes. Our genius little device uses advanced heating technology to provide festival goers with a wonderfully enjoyable experience with far fewer harmful chemicals than cigarettes or vapes.
Switching to NEAFS makes perfect sense. Because our products don’t involve burning, they produce no smoke and are far less intrusive in crowded settings. This makes them perfect for festivals where consideration for others and environmental sustainability are becoming more prioritised.
Available in both nicotine and nicotine-free options, NEAFS sticks are also much cheaper than cigarettes or disposable vapes. After all, with festival tickets creeping up in price every season, it doesn’t hurt to save a few pounds here and there.
NEAFS Is Better for the Environment
NEAFS uses a unique cellulose blend with our refillable TEO devices, which drastically reduces waste compared to single-use disposable vapes. Plus, because there’s no combustion, NEAFS doesn’t contribute to the fire hazards that can occur with traditional vapes and cigarettes.
NEAFS sticks can be easily disposed of or recycled, helping you keep your carbon footprint low while you enjoy the music.
Bottom Line
Most UK festivals have now banned disposable vapes due to environmental concerns, and rightly so. Revellers are now encouraged to use more eco-friendly, refillable vape devices that comply with festival rules. Better still, use NEAFS!
Either way, always check specific festival policies ahead of time to avoid any issues and ensure you’re fully prepared for a great experience.
Ready to make the switch? NEAFS is a much better alternative for festivals, offering a cleaner, more enjoyable experience that is way more environmentally and socially friendly.
Check out our starter kits and nicotine-free options to see how NEAFS can fit into your lifestyle, whether you’re on a mad one at Glasto or enjoying it at home on the telly with your feet up.
