Hailed as a harm reduction strategy for smokers, vaping has now morphed into a runaway craze among teenagers. With flavours like bubble gum, toffee crunch, and berry blaze, it’s clear that vapes increasingly target the youth. But flirting with vapes has turned into an addiction for some, with experts forecasting that those who start using nicotine at a young age have greater nicotine dependence than those who start later. As even a tiny amount of nicotine has a substantive impact on the teenage brain, Carte Blanche probes the latest research showing three in ten school children reaching for their e-cigarettes within an hour of waking up. While the booming vaping market is not regulated in South Africa, will a law aiming to tax e-cigarettes and related products nip this worrying trend in the bud.

While they should not be made available to children , I don’t think adding additional tax onto vapes is a solution. It’s the lesser of the two evils which helps people who simply cannot quit smoking altogether. In other words it’s a replacement for a lesser evil and there fore should be encouraged for cigarette smokers and not made harder for them to move over.
