7 OUT OF 10 SCOTS HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF SINGLE USE VAPES

Environment Reporter MORE than seven in 10 Scots are worried about the eco-impact of disposable vapes.

Poll findings for Asthma and Lung UK Scotland, shared with the Record, come alongside our campaign to outlaw the single-use devices, which are a growing litter menace.

The Opinion Matters survey of 1000 Scots shows more than a quarter (27 per cent) are "extremely concerned" about environmental damage from disposable e-cigs.

A further 44 per cent say they are "quite concerned", for a total of 71 per cent.

Launching our campaign to highlight the scale of hazardous waste and litter from single-use vapes last week, we revealed that 1.3 million devices are chucked away weekly in the UK - a rate of two per second.

In the wake of our coverage, the Scottish Government launched a review into the disposable products.
