Disposable vapes like Elf and Geek bars should be BANNED entirely, say top paediatricians

Disposable vapes like Elf and Geek bars should be BANNED entirely, say top paediatricians Ministers should ban disposable vapes because they are increasingly used by children and are harmful to the environment, doctors say.

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health has warned that 'youth vaping is fast becoming an epidemic' and more must be done to tackle the crisis.

In response to the Government consultation on e-cigarettes, which closes today, the College says the devices 'are not a risk-free product and can be just as addictive, if not more so than traditional cigarettes'. The Daily Mail
