From 1 October 2026, a new UK Vaping Products Duty begins and duty stamps start appearing on retail vape packaging. Here’s what the change means in Wales — and what it does not tell you about a product.
SUPPORT ASH WALES
Smoking has taken enough from families in Wales.
If smoking has affected someone you love, you already know the harm is not just a statistic.
ASH Wales works to help stop the next generation being pulled into smoking and nicotine, give families clear information, expose the harm tobacco causes and keep change moving in Wales.
If that matters to you, a donation helps us keep going.
Why give to ASH Wales?
Maybe you have lost someone to smoking. Maybe you have watched somebody struggle to quit. Maybe you just do not want children growing up with nicotine pushed at them from every direction.
Whatever brought you here, your support helps a small Welsh charity keep doing practical work that can make tobacco harm harder to ignore and easier to prevent.
What your donation helps keep going
Donations support the everyday work behind the campaigns, resources and evidence people see.
Protect young people
Keep free prevention resources available for schools, youth groups, families and the adults supporting young people.
Keep families informed
Help us keep clear, free information about smoking, vaping and nicotine available when people need it.
Make the harm visible
Support research, public stories and campaigns that show what smoking and nicotine are doing to people and communities in Wales.
Keep Wales moving forward
Help us turn evidence into campaigns, conversations and practical action that keeps tobacco harm on the agenda.
You do not need to give a lot.
A one-off £5, £10 or £20 donation matters. A small regular donation helps us plan ahead. Give what is comfortable for you, if anything.
We will not pretend one donation fixes everything. It helps a small charity keep doing the work, keep useful information free and respond when something new happens.
What donations can help cover
Updating a parent guide when a new nicotine product appears. Printing resources for a youth group. Turning Wales data into information people can actually understand. Responding quickly when a new tobacco issue emerges.
