Calls for a ban on “disposable” vapes have been rejected by East Renfrewshire Council after Conservatives argued they are “preventing deaths”.

Climate activist Laura Young, from Newton Mearns, has been pushing for action due to the environmental impact of “disposable” e-cigarettes, which include lithium batteries.
