Listen to our latest Investing Matters Podcast episode 'Uncovering opportunities with investment trusts' with The AIC's Richard Stone here.
Children's doctors are calling for a complete ban on disposable vapes because they are likely to damage young lungs and are bad for the environment.
But an anti-smoking campaign group says a ban would make it harder for some adults to give up smoking and increase the trade in illegal vapes.
UK governments are planning steps to reduce vaping among under-18s.
These are likely to include tighter rules on how vaping products are marketed and promoted.
Selling vapes or e-cigarettes to children is illegal, but that has not stopped a rise in 11 to 17-year-olds experimenting with vaping - from 7.7% in 2022 up to 11.6% in 2023, according to a YouGov survey for Action on Smoking and Health (Ash).
About 15% of 16 to 17-year-olds and 18% of 18-year-olds are current vapers, it suggests.
Brightly-coloured nicotine vapes in a variety of flavours, which are used once and then thrown away, are the most popular product among teenagers, who tend to get them from corner shops for about £5 each.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak recently said it was "ridiculous" that vapes were designed and promoted to appeal to children when they were supposed to be used by adults giving up smoking.
A BBC investigation found unsafe levels of lead, nickel and chromium in vapes confiscated from a secondary school, which could end up being inhaled into children's lungs. Scientists analysing the vapes said they were the worst lab test results of their kind they had ever seen.
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) now says the UK government should "without a doubt" ban disposable e-cigarettes

obv we will be targeting adults, with nicotine-free high-end vapes, but this negativity all adds up. Just hope Callum can push our case for nicotine free to the forefront, to clearly define our product from the anti- vaping brigade.
Some docs want vaping banned, some want it as alternstive to smoking...we need to fit in the middle...
Doctors in UK want disp vapes banned.
I would just settle for rayjackson troll ban.
Thicker than a whale omelette...
but at least it is mostly one-liners of bs, compared to the full blown essays of a certain poster !!
at least previous shorters were fairly literate...
AimHS...my point was not to sell out, then return customers having to wait poss months for restock. nice to sell out, as long as stock to replace is there on hand. we had that situation in the US... hopefully never again. esp if they have to be imported. ps...give up on raymondo, attention seeking twerp. he is the same on all the bb's he spouts on. mostly neg bs.
do we, in the UK, have to sell via licenced outlets, or can petrol stations, for eg, sell our vapes ?
Last thing we need is to sell out then months to restock...
slowly slowly catch the monkey.

meanwhile, the more diligent amongst us, know the real value here. adios.
Who remembers sunny on this board a few months ago? We all blasted him, but he was right all along. Predicted the downfall and clearly stated the SP.
It has been static since.
We need to bring him back, whatever he said was always the truth. It happened !

fundraise imminent
etc etc...all there for anyone to see..same on every bn.
you are either short up top, or a shorter...all your postings pluck irrelevant figures from thin air..
amateur, who is destined to make huge losses, unlike those here who do research.
oh, and btw, you will also find that most companies listed here would give their right arm to have Callum on their BOD...you clearly have done ZERO research into this company.
HAPPY 1 MONTH ON LSE BIRTHDAY.

This co will build on a month on month success with, or pref without, the tanker-rays of this world.
