Background

We are calling for the Tobacco and Vapes Bill to go further and ban the sale of all nicotine products, including vapes, to anyone born on or after 1 January 2009. We think this would protect those already harmed by marketing campaigns and mean vapes are used only as smoking cessation tools.

Additional details

We think the government’s delayed action has allowed children to be harmed, and it is now their moral duty to right that wrong. In our view, vapes are a smoking cessation tool, not a product to attract new users. We think a full ban on the sale of all nicotine products, including vapes, to anyone born on or after 1 January 2009 is the only appropriate and responsible course of action.
