I accept they are not aimed at children but between 2012 and 2015 there were 343 incidents of e-liquid poisoning, of which 42.7% were among children.

We need to be careful in how we deal with the issue. I accept what Mr. Connolly says about e-cigarettes and people moving away from cigarettes but we need to advise of the consequences.

A recent studied showed that, regarding the use of e-cigarettes, 34% were more likely to suffer from visual impairments, compared to those who had never tried vaping.
