1 in 10 Leicestershire teenagers use vape sticks
Young political activists in Blaby haveve written to their local MP with their concerns about easy access to Vape devices.
The polling service YouGov recently revealed more than one in ten 11 to 17 year-olds had experimented with vaping which is intended to help adults give up smoking.
Arafat Ahmed is a youth worker in Spinney Hill in Leicester and has seen children as young as 8 using the devices.
The department for health says it's launched a call for evidence to identify opportunities to reduce the number of children accessing and using vape products and explore where the government can go further.
