Petition Action

Stop vaping products targeted at children.

Petition Details

Confront the producers of vaping products and stop them from marketing their products to target children and young people by advertising flavours and packaging designs that appeal to non-smoking children. Make producers change to plain packaging, with health warning like cigarettes. Must have age ID

Additional Information

Many children, as young as 12-13 years, are attracted to vaping, when ordinarily they would not have considered smoking cigarettes. Vaping products, including those illegal in the UK, seem to be readily available. My local garage has brightly coloured vaping products in a basket for £2.00. Vaping is a pandemic, the medium- and long-term effects of which, are yet to be known

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Tighter restrictions on companies marketing vape kits at children & young people: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/618911

It is already illegal to sell vaping products to anyone aged under 18 and to buy vaping products for anyone under 18, and retailers are expected to check ID to ensure that they comply with this.
