Ban vaping in enclosed workplaces, public buildings and on public transport

Closed 118 signatures

What the petition asks

To prohibit vaping by law in enclosed workplaces, public buildings and on public transport. School children often use public transport and some are being exposed to vaping, despite not consenting to it.
Vaping is not completely harmless, but young children are being exposed to the effects of vaping in all public places, which we are concerned will lead to a rise in health risks in the future, which could also lead to an increased strain on the NHS. If vaping is banned in the same places that smoking is banned, the risks can be reduced.
