“In many ways, I view vaping as the revenge of the tobacco industry.' 🚬 The Tánaiste has said he is “really shocked” at the way vaping is being marketed towards young people.

“I think vaping is very dangerous, particularly for young people and I am really shocked at the manner in which it is being marketed towards young people in particular,” he said.

“I’ve always been surprised at how products such as this can so easily get on the market without due diligence in terms of the quality of the product and the damage it can do.”Because vapes and e-Cigarettes are relatively new innovations, it is too soon for scientists to conclusively say how they may impact on people’s health.

There is no good evidence suggesting that vaping can cause cancer; however, they are not risk-free and it is unclear what impact they may have in the long term.Most vapes do contain nicotine and many disposable versions contain very high levels – meaning they are highly addictive and most medics agree that they should only be used as an aid to quit tobacco use.

In the UK, they are recommended as smoking cessation devices – however, they cannot be sold to under-18s and they are not recommended for non-smokers.Minister Martin said he hopes the new legislation can prevent young people from getting addicted to vaping.
