Paediatricians call for ban on disposable vapes

The Faculty of Paediatrics at the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland warns that young people are now using disposable vapes in 'alarming' numbers.

TikTok and Instagram campaigns, coupled with the wide array of flavours and colours, make disposable vapes more desirable to young people, similar to unregulated tobacco campaigns of the past, leading paediatrics warn.

The Faculty of Paediatrics at the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland has called for a ban on disposable vapes to protect the health and wellbeing of children and young people, as well as the environment.
