Parents and teachers are facing an “epidemic” as the number of under 18s who are vaping has exploded, reports SKY News.
According to the NHS, 9% of 11 to 15-year-olds regularly use nicotine based vapes, which are disguised by bright colour packaging and sweet flavours. Australia recently announced it is set to ban recreational vaping, saying the products – that are deliberately targeted at children – are creating a new generation of nicotine addicts.
