The Scottish Parliament took evidence from Australia.

Professor Emily Banks, an Australian epidemiologist told a Holyrood committee “children who use e-cigarettes regularly, can struggle to get through a school lesson or a family meal without vaping”. She also said that “in 2015, around 2% of 15 year olds in Scotland were vaping and by 2022 that had increased to 25%, at a time when smoking in this age group had dropped to 4%. Alarmingly, Professor Banks also said “that children who inhaled vaping products were now being exposed to around 900 chemicals, the effects of which are largely unknown." The out of control Vaping industry cannot be allowed to create a new generation of children with a nicotine addiction. 

That vapes now contain 900 unknown substances is no surprise to me, because for decades over 7,000 chemicals and unknown substances have been added to cigarettes, to encourage the widest possible range of smokers to continue in their nicotine addiction.  

The Big-tobacco owned vaping industry, masquerades as the friend of smokers, gently escorting them to a smoke-free life, whilst profiting from their dubious success in quitting smoking. That success depends on keeping smokers addicted to nicotine, which had caused them to keep them smoking in the past. This industry is hiding behind the myth that vaping is 95% safer than smoking, as they work tirelessly to addict as many children and young people as they can, to nicotine addiction, from Disposable Single-use vapes.
