VENT Weekly

The first long term study looking at the health impacts of vaping came out at the end of last year, and it's not looking good. We chat to VICE Staff Writer Nana Baah and Editor in Chief Jamie Clifton about why vaping got so popular, how it's marketed and who does it.

So we know VENT Weekly usually comes out on Wednesdays, but sometimes we're going to have bonus episodes on days we think are important, and today is one of those days because of one word: Brexit. There's one guy who's played a key role in Brexit: our PM Boris Johnson. We invited political journalist Marie Le Conte into the studio to talk about who BJ really is, and how he got to where he is today.

This week we speak to VICE journalist Hannah Ewans about her investigation as part of the ‘Fill Me In' campaign, which found that lip fillers are being offered to children in the UK without ID checks. We ask why lip filler is so popular, who is dishing it out and why it should matter that anyone can get it.
