Colourful and flavoured vapes are set to be banned under new legislation expected to be approved by Cabinet today.

 

The bill will also restrict advertising and point-of-sale displays, and futureproof rules for new nicotine products.

 

Experts warn flavours and bright packaging encourage young people to start vaping, increasing the risk of long-term health issues.

 

Speaking to Ocean FM News, Sligo-based respiratory consultant Dr Katherine Finan says this strong legislation is the right move to protect young people from nicotine addiction.
