People under the age of 21 should not be allowed to buy e-cigarettes, vapes or other tobacco products, the Royal College of Physicians in Ireland claimed today.
The RCPI made a submission before the Joint Committee on Health in relation to pre-legislative scrutiny of the Public Health (Tobacco and Nicotine Inhaling Products) Bill 2019.
Prof Des Cox, a consultant in paediatric respiratory medicine at Children’s Health Ireland, Crumlin and the RCPI representative, said e-cigarettes and vapes should be subject to similar restrictions as cigarettes and other tobacco products.
