Research among 1,000 UK parents (with children aged five to 17) reveals that one in seven children (14 per cent) have been caught vaping. More alarmingly, this isn’t just a problem among secondary school-aged children, as almost half of parents (48 per cent) whose children have been caught vaping were under 11 years old.
Almost two-fifths (38 per cent) of those who have been caught vaping bought them from friends at school.
