The Government has launched an eight-week consultation on vaping amid concerns of a rise in popularity among young people.
A ban on vapes must be as strong as the one proposed for smoking, the Children’s Commissioner for England has said.
Among the options being considered are a complete ban on disposable vapes, restricting their sale, or ensuring they cannot be sold in an array of flavours and colours that might appeal to youngsters. “This is a real issue, it’s an epidemic and it’s affecting children’s health and wellbeing and I think it’s been hidden from view, so we really do need to act on it.”
