Proposed legislation banning the sale of e-cigarettes to children welcomed by Vape Business Ireland

Vape Business Ireland has welcomed calls made by the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland for the fast-tracking of legislation banning the sale of e-cigarettes to children and for funding to be made available for research into the products.

Chair of the trade association, Keith Flynn, said members had signed a code of conduct agreeing to only sell vaping products to people over the age of 18. The code, published last month, also states that members should always ask for identification if there is any doubt about a person's age.
