Mary Deller from Hope UK says the Government’s measures to tackle the huge rise in young people taking up vaping are a positive step forward.
The recently announced government ban on disposable vapes is a step in the right direction, if we are serious about tackling the worrying growth in young people vaping.
The ban is amongst several measures which will make vapes far less accessible to children. Restrictions on flavours so popular with youngsters, plus a requirement for plain packaging and changes to the way vapes are displayed at the point of sale in shops will, arguably, be more significant in preventing children from taking up the habit.
The proposed package of legislation will need to work as an effective deterrent for young people without having a detrimental effect on adults who have used disposable vapes to quit smoking.

‘Relationships are messy. In many ways, life might be so much easier if we didn’t have to interact with others. Yet God, in his wisdom, chose us to live in community. I don’t know about you, but I have become increasingly aware of a trend of cutting ‘toxic’ people out of our lives,’ says Danielle Finch.
