Young people more likely to smoke e-cigs than tobacco

Children and young teenagers in Wales are more likely to use e-cigarettes than smoke tobacco, according to the latest research.

Nearly 6% of 10 to 11 year olds and 12% of 11 to 16 year olds said they had used an e-cigarette at least once, the Cardiff University study found.

Only 15 to 16 year olds said they smoked tobacco more than e-cigarettes.
