A recent BBC investigation found that illegal vapes confiscated from school pupils contained far higher levels of lead, nickel and chromium than deemed safe.

The prime minister Rishi Sunak said he was shocked by this finding and a new crackdown on vape marketing would prevent the "unacceptable" targeting of children and teens.

There will also be a review into the rules around the sale of "nicotine-free" products to under-18s.

Labour called the announcement a "baby step" and said urgent action was needed. There is now a fast-moving debate on how to tackle vaping by children.

We spoke to two headteachers of secondary schools in England and Kate Pike, the Lead Officer for Vaping at the Chartered Trading Standards Institute, about whether these were the right measures.
