1 IN 8 KIDS VAPES CONTAINS SPICE

VAPES confiscated in secondary schools across England have been found to contain dangerous drug spice, a shocking study found.

One in eight had traces of the zombie drug, which can cause dizziness, breathing difficulties, chest pain, heart palpitations and fits as well as leaving users unable to move.

It has also been linked to paranoia, suicidal thoughts, psychosis and acute kidney injuries.

Research by British universities analysed 1,923 e-cigarettes and e-liquids from 114 schools across seven regions.
