No, it just means you'll need to find a refillable version of your beloved Bubblegum Ice flavor...
> The latest changes would also introduce powers to stop refillable vapes being sold in a flavour marketed at children and to require that they be produced in plainer, less appealing packaging.
...provided it doesn't have an attractive label with pretty colors.

...or flavors that someone arbitrarily decides are "marketed at children".
I used to occasionally enjoy a clove cigarette until US regulators decided that all flavored cigarettes, except menthol, were targeting children and banned them.
I also vaped nicotine for a year or two and loved the flavor variety, but regulators were making noise about taking the same approach there. I got tired of cleaning the goo off my car windshield so I kinda faded out of that out of laziness and have no idea where the laws went. At the time I was hearing talk of the flavor juices being sold separately from unflavored nicotine liquid.
Adults like things that taste good in the same way that they like cartoons and video games. Regulators all too often act like anything sweet and flavorful, bright and colorful, or just fun is inherently targeting children and it's incredibly frustrating.
Too bad the refillable/pods are much, much worse. I use Veev Now disposables because the pod version (Veev One) is just so much worse - in taste but also generally. It's much more "wet" than the disposable, makes me unable to use it. And the liquid from the pod version comes out into your mouth sometimes, never happened with the disposable.
The disposable is not just the same thing, if you take it apart it's much more complicated than just liquid - there is a series of filters and there is no liquid storage, it's stored in some kind of sponge.
