COVER UP VAPES THE SAME AS CIGS

SHOPS should put disposable vapes behind the counter the same as cigarettes, an MSP has said.

Greens health spokeswoman Gillian Mackay said it was too easy for underage teens to pick up throwaway e-cigs.

She said many Scots, even parents, didn't seem to realise the sweet-flavoured vapes were illegal for under-18s.

Recent figures revealed one in 10 under-age S4 pupils now saying they use the gadgets.

It comes amid the Record's campaign to outlaw singleuse vapes which have become a plastic pollution menace.
