"He wouldn't have gone out that summer and think 'you know what, I'm gonna try smoking' - I don't think he would have done that.Led by Trading Standards, the squads will work across the country and share knowledge across regional networks and local authorities.The government says its priority is to prevent people from smoking, and supporting them to quit. It has admitted vaping is a preferable alternative for adults.
Neil O'Brien, the health minister who will unveil the new plans, said:"The new illicit vapes enforcement squad will work across the country and clamp down on those businesses who sell vapes to children - which is illegal - and get them hooked on nicotine. David Lawson, chief executive of Inter Scientific, tests vaping products to ensure they meet UK standards, and said illicit items are easy to come by.
To stop this, he said"greater checking at the border when the products are getting in" may be the most effective measure.
