Vaping has become more and more popular with young people coming out of the pandemic.

The EU has looked to impose a ban on flavoured tobacco products, but some feel this doesn't go far enough.

A TobaccoFree Research Institute study found vaping in teenagers increased by 8% between 2015 and 2019.

Spun Out contributor Katelyn Benson says peer pressure is a big reason for its rise in popularity:

"A lot of it is down to outside influences, whether it be friends, whether it be family, you know, you see a lot of celebrities doing that kind of thing. And it's just more pressure on young people to start, same with smoking that it could have been like 20 or 30 years ago."
