<p>We have regulations in place to discourage underage vaping. The law protects children
through restricting sales of vapes to over 18 year olds only, limiting nicotine content,
refill bottle and tank sizes, labelling requirements and through advertising restrictions.</p><p>The
Department continues to work with the Advertising Standards Authority to enforce the
current set of regulations and to work with platforms to improve their community guidelines.</p><p>However,
given the changing circumstances surrounding vapes, the Government has launched a
call for evidence on youth vaping to identify opportunities to reduce the number of
children accessing and using vape products. This explores issues such as the appearance
and packaging of vapes, their marketing, branding and promotion, and the role of social
media.</p><p>The call for evidence will close on Tuesday 6 June. Following this, the
Government will consider a range of options based on the evidence provided, including
potential changes to vaping policy and regulations.</p>
