Shocking findings
Last month, vapes used by children were found to have high levels of lead, nickel and chromium, BBC News unearthed. E-cigarettes confiscated from pupils at Baxter College in Kidderminster were tested in a lab, revealing shocking results.
Those using them could be inhaling more than twice the daily safe amount of lead and nine times the safe amount of nickel, while some vapes also contained harmful chemicals similar to those found in cigarette smoke.
The Inter Scientific laboratory in Liverpool analysed 18 vapes to find most were illegal and hadn't gone through safety testing before being sold, prompting concern about how widespread the issue is.
Previous advice urged smokers to swap cigarettes for vapes
This followed smokers in England being urged to swap cigarettes for vapes in a bid to help cut smoking rates. But while the new government scheme acknowledges concern that vaping is rising in children, the question is how much better is it for adults?
E-cigarettes have often been marketed as a way to enjoy smoking with fewer of the health risks of traditional cigarettes, though the recent BBC findings suggest otherwise when they haven't gone through proper checks.
---------------------------
The developed world thought E-cigarettes a good when A to get people are regular cigarettes. It turns out they are in their own way bad in different ways! I am particularly concerned about the lead and nickle constant.
And children are being persuaded to take up varping, which is cigarette companies are exploiting as a way to get them enviable addicted to smoking.
Vapes also have a strong affect on the heart! And are psycho active drugs. Are we crazy! We are allowing children to get addicted to smoking and drugs. In the guise of being cigarette reducing devices.
Which they are so obviously not! They should carry an 18 and over health restriction. Why it cell cigarette quitting aid, sold to an age group which are not allowed to smoke.
And yes I realise that children and do smoke. But we should not be encouraging it. Rishi Sunak should crack down on E cigarettes selling.
How did heavy metals like lead and Nickle get into Vapes? They it must have gone through some health checks, before being released the general public.
And no product with with such a toxic payload should be anywhere near consumers. That is choir possibly the most evil act in corporate history. It was not random - somebody designed it!
