Commending Child Human Right Defenders' Call for Restrictions on Vapes

Lodged by Maggie Chapman (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 15 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament commends the publication of the Children's Parliament's Child Human Rights Defenders' Investigate Vaping report; notes that the report supports ASH Scotland's World No Tobacco Day campaign; understands that the group gathered evidence from 100 children, aged nine to 12, in Dundee, Alloa and Glenrothes; understands that participants expressed concern that children may be more likely to try vaping due to the use of bright and colourful packaging, attractive flavours as well as advertising and promotions; recognises that participants also felt that there is a lack of understanding about the dangers of vapes; welcomes the group's suggestions for plainer packaging and flavours as well as its call for vapes to be hidden from immediate view in shops and measures to prevent them from being sold near schools and where children play, and recognises the report's calls for better education so that children learn about the risks of vaping from a young age.
