Why is it important?
The number of teenagers in the UK using vapes has increased over the years; nicotine addiction in teenagers can be problematic.
Perspectives
Research like mine may encourage the government to review their advertising laws for vaping products. It may also encourage adults such as parents, teachers, and other health professionals to have discussions with teenagers and young people about vaping.
