Government plans under-age crackdown on vaping

A loophole allowing retailers to give free vape samples to children is set to be closed under government plans to curb their use among young people.

A new crackdown on vape marketing would prevent the “unacceptable” targeting of children and teens, Rishi Sunak said.

There will also be a review into the rules around the sale of “nicotine-free” products to under-18s.

Labour called the announcement a “baby step” and said urgent action is needed.

A recent BBC investigation found that illegal vapes confiscated from school pupils contained far higher levels of lead, nickel and chromium than deemed safe. The prime minister praised the findings, saying it had made an impression on him.
