Ban display of vaping products in all retail settings.
Vape products are being openly promoted in a range of retail stores including Morrisons Supermarkets. The displays are colourful and the "flavours" are clearly aimed to entice children under 18. I propose a ban on display, marketing and promoting vape products.
Evidence shows that cigarette displays in shops can encourage young people to start smoking. Research shows that children under 18 are attracted by flavours and the "fun" packaging of these products.
Chemicals found in vape products:
