About the company

How it is doing

Chill Brands Group PLC (LSE:CHLL, OTCQB:CHBRF)’s chief executive Callum Sommerton discussed the company's response to the UK government's proposed ban on disposable vaping products in an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion.

While the specifics of the ban remain unclear, Chill Brands is already pivoting towards a post-disposable product landscape. Sommerton highlighted the company's focus on compliance and innovation, emphasising their development of a fully compliant, reusable pod system, which is being accelerated in response to the proposed regulations.

Sommerton also raised concerns about the potential unintended consequences of the ban, such as the growth of a black market for disposable vapes and a possible resurgence in tobacco use. Citing studies and opinions from health and industry organisations, he argued for regulation over outright prohibition.

Stephen Gunnion (SG): You've been very quick to come up with a response to the government's proposed ban on disposable vaping products. Does the proposed ban in its current form include any of the products you distribute?
