Explained in plain English

What is a temporary ban?

A temporary ban means a restriction that is put in place for a limited period, rather than permanently. In the story, the government is considering a temporary ban on disposable barbecues during summer months. This approach allows for flexibility, addressing immediate risks during peak danger periods without imposing year-round restrictions.
