Single use vapes are extremely harmful not only to the environment but also have a detrimental effect on children and young people's health. @ScotParl has taken a vital step to protect children and young people in Scotland. Thank you to @GillianMacMSP for championing this issue.
This would not have been possible without the relentless campaigning from @LessWasteLaura who has been instrumental throughout. Experts and health campaigners like @ASHScotland, @asthmalungscot, @ncdalliance, @RCPCHScotland, @KSBScotland, @Daily_Record and many more.
