We have the balance right on vaping, says PM

Disposable vapes are "behind the very worrying rise" in children vaping, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said.

The PM said it was important to maintain vapes for adult smokers who want to give up cigarettes, but children should not have access to them.

He said while there would be a free vote in Parliament, he believed it was the “right long-term thing” to ban disposable vapes to cut cancer rates and ease pressure on the NHS.
