- NHS Chief Amanda Pritchard expresses serious concerns
The NHS is taking steps to restrict vaping in order to tackle the increasing number of youngsters being hospitalized due to e-cigarette use. These steps include regulating the availability of flavors and implementing stricter advertising guidelines that do not target children.
Expressing her concerns, Amanda Pritchard, the chief executive of NHS England, highlights the rise in hospital admissions among young people as a major issue.
To combat this trend, the government is considering banning disposable vaping devices and sports sponsorship deals. Additionally, e-cigarette retailers may require licenses.
