Parents are being urged to talk to their children over the dangers of vaping.
According to the NHS, vapes are not recommended for non-smokers and cannot be sold to people under 18 years old. They work by heating a liquid that typically contains nicotine, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, and flavourings.
However, despite being closely regulated, the long-term risks of vaping are not yet clear. Common side effects can include coughing, dry mouth and throat, mouth and throat irritation, shortness of breath and headaches.
