He says he is still seeing a stream of children coming into his store.
The owner of a vape shop has said a new Government initiative to stop retailers giving free samples to children is a "good move", but not enough to make a real impact on the practice.Tom Peach, who runs Sluice Juice in Newport, says he is still seeing a stream of children coming into his store to buy disposable e-cigarettes, after he spoke to theNHS figures for 2021 showed that nine per cent of 11- to 15-year-old children used e-cigarettes, up from six per cent in 2018.
"What they are doing now is trying to close the loophole, which is all good and well and any move forward is a good move," Tom said. Recent figures also showed that the majority of vapers are using the disposable products, with 52.8 per cent of vapers using them in 2022, compared with 7.8 per cent in 2021.
"It's only disposables, it wasn't a massive thing before disposables because they weren't so cheap to get hold of."
