Rise in young women vaping daily in the UK
More young women in the UK are vaping daily, a survey from the Office of National Statistics suggests. Vaping and smoking is illegal for under-18s, with children's doctors calling for a complete ban on popular, brightly-coloured, flavoured disposable vapes in particular. Deborah Arnott, chief executive of charity Action on Smoking and Health, said the data shows "a worrying growth in vaping among teens and young adults". The proportion of people using vapes was highest among current cigarette smokers and former smokers. Occasional use in those who had never smoked jumped from 0.8% to 1.8%. Out of the UK population, 12.9% of people aged 18 or over, or 6.4 million people, smoked cigarettes in 2022.
