Dangers of vaping as young children targeted

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.
