According to sources, disposable vapes would be banned in order to safeguard children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ministers are thought to be working on measures to outlaw disposable vapes, which are aimed at people under the age of 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Single-use vapes are available in colourful colours and pleasant and fruity flavours such as pink lemonade, gummy bear, and watermelon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to The Telegraph, the Department of Health and Social Care’s decision to prohibit disposable vapes will be announced in a consultation, probably next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michelle Donelan, Secretary of Science and Technology, did not reject the reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said: \u201cWe have been looking into this and have been doing a review because this is a very worrying trend that we\u2019re seeing of young children taking up vaping that had never smoked before, and it is extremely dangerous to their health and their wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s something that we do need to act on and, as a Government, what we\u2019re trying to do is recognise what are the key challenges and grip them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asked whether the Government will be banning single-use vapes next week, she said: \u201cWe\u2019ll be making further announcements on that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NHS also reports a rise in the number of children admitted to hospital due to vaping.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
