A Scottish Government consultation on single-use vapes could lead to the devices being banned, Humza Yousaf has said.
Outlining his first Programme for Government on Tuesday, the First Minister announced plans to take action, citing high numbers of young people who use the cheap and often flavoured tobacco substitutes.
“On the environment, the evidence is undeniable – from litter on our streets, to the risk of fires in waste facilities, there are issues which demand action. “Of course, this is not just an issue for Scotland – these problems are being experienced all over the UK and we will soon be holding discussions on potential solutions.”
