Paediatricians have sent an urgent warning to parents, as they state that "youth vaping is fast becoming an epidemic among children" in the UK.
The doctors have also called on the UK Government to ban disposable vapes, in response to a consultation on the popular e-cigarettes.
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) have warned that the vapes "are not a risk-free product and can be just as addictive, if not more so than traditional cigarettes."
