Children ‘so addicted to vapes they can’t last lesson without one’ – as mother of teenager who died issues warning

1. Any parent or shopkeeper who allows these NICOTINE products into a child’s hands is low.

   Our government is bleating on about banning smoking totally for people of certain ages while ignoring that most kids are on vapes, not cigarettes. This untested, unregulated market (vapes and vaping) that was let take hold is the problem they should be addressing along with those who happily sell this crap to kids.

   If you know a place serving underage, report it to trading standards.

2. I had terrible hacking coughs while vaping. Had to stop because it it was also making my teeth very sensitive and feel almost brittle.

   I dunno what the fuck is going on but it’s really, really nasty shit actually.

3. It’s wild to me that children as young as 10 are developing a full on physiological addiction to nicotine and there is virtually nothing being done about it by the government.

4. My sister is a teacher and seeing the exact same. Also students who can’t last a flight without one and have withdrawals

5. Vaping should be regulated. This is fucking obvious. Shopkeepers should be fined for selling vapes to kids, like they would be with alcohol.

   However, it’s fairly obvious what’s going to happen instead: the government are going to wait far too long to do anything, and then when they have to do something, they will do something stupid, like saying the only permissible vape flavour is sewer water and you have to get 5 prescriptions from a specialist on the NHS to be allowed to buy one.
