UK government cracks down on marketing, sale of vapes to kids; takes cue from India

Taking note of India's hard stance against vaping, the UK government has also come down heavily on vaping, e-cigarettes and new-age gateway products and has shared its proposal for public consultation to rein in on vaping by children. The proposal in the UK comes at a time when Sarah Griffin (12) had to be placed in a medically induced coma after her lungs were severely weakened by vaping. Although she has recovered, but the ordeal has left her with permanent lung damage.
