£100 Fine for Vaping at the Bus Stop

Caught vaping at a bus stop? You could be fined £100 — even if you’re not breaking any visible rules.

A new law working its way through Parliament could give transport authorities across the UK the power to issue on-the-spot fines to anyone caught vaping in open-air bus stops.

What’s Happening?

While vaping is already banned on buses and inside bus stations, bus stops have usually been exempt until now.

If the law passes, authorities like Transport for London will be able to fine people for puffing at bus shelters, even those with open sides and a roof.

This comes hot on the heels of:

Who’s Behind It?

Some call it a hidden crackdown. Tory MPs claim the fine powers are buried in legislation that’s supposed to “improve bus services,” accusing the government of tightening e-cigarette laws quietly.

But the Department for Transport insists this is not a stealth ban and that vape fines should only be used after a warning.

What It Means for You

If you use prefilled vapes or hardware vapes in the UK, be aware: even vaping at your local bus stop could become a £100 fine risk.
