Vape ban backed

Edinburgh and Aberdeen councils support campaign

-  DAN VEVERS

ABERDEEN and Edinburgh have become the latest cities to back the Record’s campaign to outlaw polluting disposable vapes.

More than a third of councils have now thrown their weight behind calls to ban single-use vapes amid a Scottish Government review of the products.

In January, we launched our Bin the Vapes campaign to highlight the growing litter menace from throwaway vape pens blighting our streets and parks.

A staggering 1.3million disposable e-cigs are chucked away every week in the UK – wasting materials such as plastic, copper and precious lithium batteries.
