In a Parliamentary debate in November 2022, I urged the Government to clamp down on the illegal supply of vapes to those under the age of 18.
I was concerned about vaping manufacturers aiming their marketing at those under the age of 18 through the use of cartoon characters, rainbow colour vapes and flavours to match.
I am delighted that the Government has listened to my concerns, and those of others, and is now taking steps to crack down on rogue firms targeting children with free vape samples.
Today’s announcement is a welcome step in our fight to combat youth vaping.
