I fear that it might take a little more than banning vapes to make the country healthier.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Phase out cigarettes, phase out vapes. We have to do something. Although I agree more is needed. No doubt education from an early age.
Yes, get rid of ciggies first, I know a lot if people have found vapes helpful for stopping smoking.
Ban single-use vapes, get rid of all the fancy flavours and then possibly look at offering vapes by prescription.
Whilst you're at it, phase out alcohol and provide education from a young age that is one of the most destructive drugs.
They'll have to make the rest of life far more enjoyable before removing alcohol. And even then.
