Ban on Vapes For Teens Passed By Dáil
It's hoped the sale of vapes to under 18 year olds will be illegal by Christmas.
The move to do so was voted in by TD's in the Dail last night.
The bill now goes to the Seanad and if it gets the green light there the President will be asked to sign it into law.
It also includes an advertising ban of vaping products around schools and on public transport.
A strict new licensing system for retailers selling vapes also makes up part of it.
Meanwhile, the bill is being welcomed by most.
However, CEO of the Asthma Society Eilis Ni Chaithnia thinks flavours should be banned:
"They're obviously attractive to young people. They make vaping easier for young people so to ban all flavours [would be welcomed] except of course tobacco flavours".
