Record View says it is time for Holyrood and Westminster to sit down and find a way to get vapes off the shelves for the good of the planet and the health of our children
Pressure is building from the public, from health experts and from around the globe for a disposable vapes ban. Since we launched our campaign to axe these single-use plastic products in January, the Record has repeatedly highlighted the environmental risks and litter menace posed by these gadgets.
Ministers at Holyrood considering a ban on these products should listen to Scotland’s child doctors very carefully. These products, like alcohol and cigarettes, are supposed to be restricted to those 18 and over. That’s why groups like the WWF – and activists like Scotland’s “vape crusader” Laura Young – are urging diplomats at UN plastic pollution talks in Paris this week to implement a worldwide ban on single-use vapes. Because the environmental toll is also mounting before our eyes.
It’s a fresh start The launch of Glasgow’s Low Emission Zone marks a new era for the city. Talking to locals yesterday, it’s clear support is growing for the scheme – now applicable to all cars entering the square mile city centre zone.
