Children under the age of 18 will be banned from buying “vapes” or e-cigarettes before the middle of July under plans going to Cabinet this morning
Children under the age of 18 will be banned from buying “vapes” or e-cigarettes before the middle of July under plans going to Cabinet.
Government sources told the Irish Mirror that the advertising crackdown would be done in a bid to “limit children’s exposure to commercial messages normalising or glamourising the purchase and usage of e-cigarettes”. According to the World Health Organisation, there are 16,000 different flavours of vapes, including bubblegum and “gummy bears”.
Some €5m has been allocated to roll out this pilot programme, which comprises two new “support models”.
