Emma buys her children's vapes to try to control their nicotine intake.

She says it feels like the only way to keep her children safe and reduce nicotine.

Disposable vape ban came into effect in June due to environmental concerns and to reduce the rising number of children and young people e-vaping.

Dan from Twickenham , a father of three boys, says the conversation about youth vaping is redundant because, he says, that "horse has bolted" Dan 's 17-year-old got expelled from school in February because he was caught with cannabis in his vape.

He says his eldest son is addicted to nicotine pouches and now his eldest is addicted.

A government spokesperson says it is taking "tough action" to tackle youth vaping.
