Children as young as 11 have been spotted vaping in primary schools as an Ayrshire MSP raises concerns over a surge in kids using e-cigarettes.
Ayr MSP Siobhian Brown says the brightly-coloured, sweet-flavoured products – with flavours including cotton candy, lemon sherbet and cola bottles – are “luring younger children into nicotine addiction”.
The mum-of-three has spoken of her shock about the rise in teenagers and pre-teens using the devices, adding she is worried about the potential health risks of long-term use on children, whose bodies are still developing.
