There are fears that the e-cigarette boom has the potential to create a generation of young people hooked on nicotine
how Elf Bar, one of the leading brands of disposable vapes, was apparently flouting rules to promote its products to young people on the social media app TikTok.
There are concerns about the long-term health effects of vaping and that many of the products on sale in the UK are illicit and may contain banned chemicals or super-strength nicotine. Three hundred miles away in Dursley, Gloucestershire, Sharon Carter, 47, is facing a similar dilemma. Her son first tried vaping when he was 11, three weeks after starting secondary school, after being “offered a puff” by an older child. She later discovered he and his friends were hiding vaping products in a carrier bag stashed in a bush that they would retrieve each afternoon on the walk home from school.
