UK to probe health impact of vaping on children as young as eight
Britain is launching a decade-long study on the long-term effects of vaping on children as young as eight, tracking 100,000 participants aged 8-18. With a quarter of 11- to 15-year-olds having tried vaping, the government is tightening regulations, including a ban on disposable vapes from June and restrictions on flavours and packaging. The £62 million study will collect health and behavioural data to assess risks. Concerns include potential lung inflammation and nicotine addiction in young users. Additionally, a nationwide social media campaign aims to educate youth on vaping dangers.
