Ban coloured vapes and vapes disguised as electronics to protect our children

Closed 105 signatures

What the petition asks

A survey estimated that 1.1 million children aged 11 to 17 tried vaping in 2025. We think they can be attractive to younger people because they are advertised as fun, colourful and childish, and that this endangers children who may not have considered smoking otherwise.
We believe that the government have a responsibility to protect the youth, and prevent long-lasting health implications from dangerous habits, and so vape companies should not be allowed to have fun-looking, colourful products which could encourage children to try them.
