“It’s vital that we crack down on illegal sales to remove dangerous products and ensure young lives are not put at risk. The advice is clear that vaping is not for children. “I welcome the recent announcements by the Prime Minister to end the harms of smoking which include more funding for enforcement work like this by trading standards teams.”
