A teacher in the UK is calling for stricter regulations on vaping, following the example of Australia which is banning vapes for everyone except those on prescription
Under the new laws in Australia, vapes will be available only by prescription.
The teacher also expressed concern about the health impacts of vaping, particularly on young people, and the lack of research on the long-term effects.
A UK vaping industry association said that its products are not designed for children and it is willing to accept increased fines to prevent them from being sold to children.
The Welsh government is also planning to publish a plan to prevent children and young people from vaping.
The article discusses the concerns of Public Health Wales regarding the availability of vapes, which is leading to an increase in their use among children.
Director of health improvement, Dr Julie Bishop, believes that the tactics used by the vaping industry are concerning and could lead to a new generation of addicts.
The UK Vaping Industry Association agrees and has called for increased fines for retailers who sell these products to children.
The Welsh government has said that it is wrong and irresponsible for retailers to give free e-cigarettes to children and that it will take action to stop this practice.
