The British Medical Association advocates for vapes to be sold only behind the counter, akin to cigarettes, in response to alarming vaping trends among youth.
Prof David Strain emphasizes the dual nature of vapes, being effective for smoking cessation, but highlights their inappropriateness in children’s lives, warning against potential health risks.
The alarming rise in vaping among children is undeniable, with 7.6% of 11-17 year olds now vaping, a sharp increase from just 1.3% in 2014.
