Falkirk councillors have unanimously agreed to support a nationwide call for a ban on single use, disposable vapes.
Millions of the small devices are discarded across the UK every week, with hundreds recently found in just one small area of a local skate park.
Councillor Iain Sinclair, the SNP's climate change spokesperson on Falkirk Council, said that until recently he had not been aware of the scale of the problems that disposable vapes are causing.
