Call for ban on indoor vaping as pressure stepped up for sweeping restrictions
Summary
Former First Minister Lord McConnell has called for a debate on banning the use of vapes indoors. He argued that companies profit from exploitative marketing that creates new addiction, similar to the tobacco industry. McConnell, who led the country when smoking was outlawed in public places, believes a similar consensus is needed now to address the rise in vape use among young people. He urged the new Scottish Government, led by Public Health Minister Maree Todd, to lead discussions on a ban on indoor vaping and stricter protections for children. McConnell warned against short-term partisan politics and vested interests opposing these health measures.
