Sale of vapes to under-18s set to be banned

The sale of e-cigarettes and vaping products to underage people is set to be banned.

Stephen Donnelly is seeking to formally ban the sale of nicotine inhaling products to those under 18 from early next year. The Health Minister is also planning to restrict the types of retailers that can sell vaping products.

Another step of his plan to reduce the number of nicotine-addicted minors is to curb the advertising of vapes and e-cigarettes near schools. This will also apply to a number of other settings frequented by children and young teenagers, which includes public transport.
