Tories defend £350K vaping firm donation
By Emaan WarraichBBC News
The Conservatives have defended accepting a donation from a firm accused of marketing vapes to children.
The £350,000 from Supreme 8 Limited was received in cash on 23 May.
Labour says vapes sold by The Firm - Such as Blue Razz Lemonade, Strawberry Mousse and Rainbow Burst - are clearly aimed at children. The legal age to purchase and use a vape is 18.
The Conservatives said they were not " anti-vaping" but the government was cracking down on underage sales.
Supreme 8 has been contacted for a comment.
Among the vaping products The Company distributes for wholesale are Elf Bar, which has been criticised for marketing vapes to Young People .
However, Elf Bar products do contain A Warning indicating that " it is forbidden to sell this product to children".
Labour's Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting said: " We're sleepwalking into a New Generation of children getting hooked on nicotine. Yet the Tories put lining their own pockets ahead of protecting children's health.
" Labour will come down like a ton of bricks on those peddling vapes to kids. We will ban the marketing and branding of vapes to children and give Every Child a healthy start to life. "
Labour shadow children's minister Helen Hayes banning the marketing of vapes to children, telling MPs it is not necessary to use brightly-coloured branding to sell a Smoking Cessation product.
A Tory spokesperson said: " We Are not anti-vaping. It is one of The Most effective ways to help people quit and smoking and our government encourages this switch. "
" However, this government is taking meaningful steps to tackle vendors who sell vapes to children.
" This includes setting up an Illicit Vape Enforcement Squad, closing loopholes on giving out sample vapes, and launching a review into fines for selling these products to under-18s. "
One in five children (11-17 year olds) have tried vaping, figures from the 2023 Action on Smoking and Health survey of young vapers in England, Scotland and Wales suggest.
In May, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said: " My daughters are 10 and 12, and I don't want The Way vapes are marketed, promoted and sold to be attractive to them. That's why I Am launching a new crackdown today to protect children. "
Prof John Britton , honorary professor at the University of Nottingham, who previously advised the government on its plan to end smoking, said: " It's inconceivable to say that vaping is safe, it is a balance of risks.
" If you don't use nicotine in any shape or form, it is madness to start vaping. "
Prof Britton anticipates that in 40 or 50 Years ' time, we will start to see people developing Lung Cancer , chronic bronchitis and other serious lung conditions as a result of their vaping.
The Department of Health and Social Care have said they have regulations in place to discourage underage vaping Such as restricting sales of vapes to over 18s only, limiting nicotine content, refill bottle and tank sizes and through advertising restrictions.
