Helen Hayes, MP for Dulwich and West Norwood, proposed a new law to “ban the advertising, marketing and packaging of vaping products in ways which are designed to appeal to children” during a session in the House of Commons yesterday (6 September).

She said: “The number of children becoming addicted to nicotine via vaping is growing fast & urgent action is needed.”
