The Government has announced a crackdown on the 'unacceptable' targeting of children in vape adverts. It comes after a headteacher revealed one of his school's pupils recently collapsed after one puff of a vape bought on Manchester's 'counterfeit street'.
Glyn Potts, headteacher at Blessed John Henry Newman RC College in Chadderton, warned that young people 'need advice and information' on the realities of vaping. But Ministers have now pledged to close a loophole allowing retailers to give free samples of vapes to children in England.
There will also be a review into banning retailers selling 'nicotine-free' vapes to under-18s, and on the rules for issuing fines to shops that illegally sell vapes to children.
