Children under the age of 18 will be banned from buying “vapes” or e-cigarettes before the middle of July under plans going to Cabinet.
Ministers are expected to sign off this Tuesday morning on new legislation from Health Minister Stephen Donnelly that would see vapes banned for children.
The Bill will also restrict the type of retailers that can sell nicotine-inhaling products, as well as banning advertisements for nicotine-inhaling products near schools and on public transport.
