As we draw near to the end of the year it is good to reflect on what any of us have done this year to try to make the world a better place than it was a year ago.

I would like to thank the 96,800 people who viewed this petition and especially the 4,131 of you that have taken the time to sign my petition, to ban completely disposable single-use vaping products.  If we win this one, we can ensure that the next generation of children and young people, who Big-tobacco and the vaping industry they own, can be prevented from becoming addicted to nicotine.

In my four decades in drugs education and supporting children and young people with addictions I have seldom met anyone with serious drug addiction, that did not start their journey by smoking tobacco, loaded with nicotine. The vaping industry has no interest in public health, they are only in building a new generation of nicotine addicts to keep their shareholders happy. 

We can, and must keep believing that this does not need to happen.

REMEMBER  “It only takes the good people of the world to do nothing, for the bad guy’s to keep profiting from exploiting the young, the poor, and the most vulnerable in our society.” 

Banning Disposable single-use vapes, will top 5 million disposable vapes being dumped in our environment every week. 

All best wishes for Christmas.

May 2024 be a year when we all resolve to do what ever we can to make the world a better place than it is.
