Disposable vapes flavoured like sweets and fruits which are targeted towards teenagers could be banned, it has been claimed Experts are concerned child-friendly flavours and bright colours make the products more appealing to children Neil O'Brien, Minister for Public Health will reportedly begin to ask for evidence in the next few days before under-18s are restricted on how they can get access to nicotine vapes Popular vape flavours appealing to children are similar to those seen on sweet shelves. In a speech early next month, Mr O'Brien will talk about the Government's concerns over vapes and launch a consultation to ask experts how to best to protect children from highly addictive nicotine. NHS Digital, which questioned nearly 10,000 students aged 11 to 15 on their smoking, drug and drinking habits last year, found that 9 per cent currently vape — the highest rate logged since the survey began in 2014 One in ten secondary school pupils are now vape-users, despite the uncertainty surrounding their long-term health impact Experts have stressed their concern at children not being fully aware of the contents of e-cigarettes, with many so anxious for their next 'fix' they are begging teachers to let them vape at school However, unlike tobacco, the devices don't need to be hidden away behind shutters, despite some containing as much nicotine as 50 cigarettes.
