A council urges ministers to bring in restrictions to protect children from a 'ticking time bomb'.
said figures showed nearly 100,000 children in the North East had tried vaping,
"Children become addicted to nicotine much faster than adults and we don't know the long-term effects of vaping," Ms Taylor said. "There's also the problem that many of the products on sale in the UK are illicit and may contain banned chemicals or super-strength nicotine."some vaping products have been found with unsafe levels of "toxic" chemicalsA full council meeting with city politicians heard the health risks "associated with vaping are becoming increasingly apparent".
Labour's deputy council leader, Karen Kilgour, said vapes "could seriously damage children's health" and warned that the city's minors were "being exposed to a ticking time bomb". The council recently forced the closure of three shops in Byker after officers found vapes being sold to children, some aged 10."The marketing and the illegal sales of vapes to children is completely unacceptable and I will do everything in my power to end this practice for good," he said.
