Police warning to parents as children collapse in town centre after vaping

Police have issued a warning after at least three incidents where school children have inhaled cannabis-derived liquids mixed with vape liquids and collapsed. Officers are now urging parents to talk frankly with their children about the dangers of vaping.

Lincolnshire Police said some of the children in Sleaford town centre, Lincolnshire, needed hospital care. The force added the children have recovered, reports Lincolnshire Live.
