Government should encourage smokers to turn to vapes instead, poll says

People are increasingly turning to their local stores to buy vaping products, a survey has found

ALMOST half of Scots think Holyrood should encourage cigarette smokers to switch to vapes, a poll has suggested, after a consultation called on advertising rules to be tightened.

According to the new survey for the Scottish Grocers’ Federation, 45% said they tended to agree or strongly agree that the Government should encourage tobacco smokers to switch to e-cigarettes.
