Rishi Sunak has expressed his concern that vape companies are targeting children
Disposable vapes are to be axed in a bid to prevent children from becoming addicted, according to reports. In new government plans set to be unveiled next week, disposable vapes will be banned.
PM Rishi Sunak - who is a father to two young daughter - has voiced his concern at the rate nicotine e-cigarettes are being regularly bought and consumed by minors in the UK. He also expressed his discomfort that children are the focus of suppliers. A study found that young people who vape are twice as likely to report chronic stress compared with their peers who do not vape. Researchers from Canada undertook a detailed analysis of 905 people aged between 15 and 30, of which 115 said they had used e-cigarettes.
A drug called Champix - also called varenicline - was also found to be one of the most effective methods to help aid smokers attempting to quit. However, the drug was withdrawn from use in the UK as a precaution due to an impurity found in the medicine.
