A climate activist has been raising the alarm on the environmental impact disposable vapes are having on our streets, green spaces and beaches.
Described as a 'vape crusader', Laura Young, 26, has ventured up and down Scotland to highlight the problem as it continues to grow. Taking to social media, she shares parks and roads littered with used e-cigarettes. In once instance, Laura found a staggering 55 products in the space of an hour during her walk through Dundee - that would nearly be one a minute.
Speaking to the Daily Record, Laura explained: "About six months ago was the first time I found one on the ground as litter. It was on a dog walk, I picked it up and it was one of these square plastic ones. I didn't really know at first what it was, then realised it was a vape and just thought, 'Oh, well' and threw it in the bin and didn't really think too much of it.
