An urgent alert has been sounded in Westminster over a generation of internet-connected vaping devices, with a Labour MP warning that products equipped with Bluetooth and app connectivity could pose a significant risk to personal data security.
For millions of British users, a vape is simply a convenient, pocket-sized nicotine delivery system. But as the industry pivots toward 'smart' technology, a growing number of devices now feature Bluetooth connectivity, smartphone apps, and cloud-based data storage. This transition has prompted Graeme Downie, the Labour MP and chairman of the Coalition on Secure Technology, to call for an immediate investigation into the potential privacy risks posed by these gadgets.
