SCOTTISH health chiefs have no idea how many youngsters I have needed hospital treatment after falling ill from vaping.
While the number of under-18s hospitalised as a result of vaping quadrupled last year in England there are no comparable figures available for Scotland.
That's despite figures reported by the Record earlier this month which found the rate of Scots aged 15 who regularly use vapes has surged to around one in 10.
It comes amid our campaign to outlaw disposable brands of e-cigs which are becoming a growing litter and pollution menace.

They fear not enough is known about the impact of vaping on kids whose lungs are still developing.
