Experts say it can cause numbness of the tongue and loss of taste and smell.
Vapers have been warned about a "grim" health condition that could cause them to lose their sense of smell and taste. Known as 'vape tongue', dental experts have said the issue is becoming increasingly common.
According to Wales Online, Peterson also warned that the condition could lead to not only a loss of taste but can in fact lead to a stuffy nose and impact the sense of smell. Explaining what causes it, she said: "If there's nicotine in your vape, then it's actually causing your mouth to dry out. This can completely remove your sense of taste."
Experts have suggested that passing the Tobacco and Vapes Bill in the UK could make room for laws to deter children and younger people from vaping, including limits on e-cigarette flavours, packaging, and display. Dr Mike McKean, the Vice president of policy at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, has raised concerns about the marketing strategies used by vape companies that target younger audiences.
"I'm concerned that we have allowed e-cigarette companies free reign to target our children with these brightly coloured, flavoured, appealing and potentially damaging products. The Tobacco and Vapes Bill is now a matter of urgency for the health of our children and young people."
