Rise in vaping in children.

I often drive past a school that is attended by children who have been expelled from main stream schooling.
The teachers are vaping outside with the children.

I’ve just had a look at the cost of vaping on this website

www.aquavape.co.uk/how-much-does-vaping-cost-uk/

It suggests somewhere between £327.99 - £177.99 annually.The lower figure is based on getting ‘deals’ or ‘clearance’ offers. The figure includes all the kit needed.

Disposable vapes seem to cost about £5 each or ‘5 for £20’ on this site

Many 13-15 year olds will have pocket money plus lunch money and maybe a clothing allowance as well as birthday and Christmas money. If they choose to spend their money on vaping there is not much a parent can do.

I can’t decide whether I am more worried about my grandchildren vaping or about the vast amount of junk food they buy 😳

It really shocks me to see schoolchildren still in their uniforms looking only about 12-14 years vaping away. As you say where are they getting the money from and why are they allowed to purchase these things? I am in a group of litterpickers and we are finding the discarded vapes everywhere.
