Underage vaping crackdown plannedA loophole allowing retailers to give free vape samples to children is set to be closed under Government plans to curb their use among young people. A new crackdown on vape marketing would prevent the "unacceptable" targeting of children and teens, Rishi Sunak said. There will also be a review into the rules around the sale of "nicotine-free" products to under-18s. The plans also include a review of rules on issuing fines for shops selling illicit vapes. By tightening the law, it said it would be easier for local trading standards officials to issue on-the-spot fines and fixed penalty notices to shops who sell vapes to underage people.
