Children as young as six years old have been involved in the 'vape hunting' trend
Concerns have been raised regarding a new "vape hunting" trend among young people which is seeing children as young as six vaping.
Darren said that children as young as six years old have been involved in the "vape hunting" trend, which poses a number of risks to them due to the chemicals that are in the vapes, along with the dangers of picking something up off of the street and putting it in their mouths. "The leaflet that we have developed highlights some of the medical aspects behind the dangers surrounding vaping and not just targets the kids, but their parents so that we can let them know the risks behind vaping.
He said: "This is a great campaign, because vapes were originally developed as e-cigarettes to help people to stop smoking so they were designed for adult cigarette smokers to help them stop what was a very toxic and addictive habit. "When you are talking about children and adolescents their brain is very sensitive and vulnerable and these chemicals can affect the brain development. So potentially vapes have significant health and mental health dangers with them."
