Tánaiste Micheál Martin has said new laws which will ban the sale of vapes to under 18s will help improve the lives of younger people.

Mr Martin was speaking outside Government Buildings on his way to a Cabinet meeting where Health Minister Stephen Donnelly will seek to get sign-off on legislation which will be enacted by July.
