One anti-youth vaping group thinks the Government's plan to crack down on youth vaping will miss the mark.

The Government has promised a complete ban on disposable vapes and tougher fines for retailers caught selling to under-18s.

Vape Free Kids co-founder Charyl Robinson says the only way to really tackle this problem is to reduce the number of available retailers.

"There's been no indication that promises are set to be kept. There was murmurs, I suppose, of some further restrictions on retailers- but I don't hear anything promising."
