Jordan North: The Truth About Vaping

SYNOPSIS

Jordan North sets out to decide, once and for all, if it's time he quit vaping. The number of young people vaping has skyrocketed in recent years. Annual sales in the UK are now thought to be £1.7 billion. As a vaper himself, something he took up to help reduce the number of cigarettes he smokes, Jordan is aware of the increasing popularity of the product, but also the steady stream of negative news reports about them in recent months. Once simply marketed as a safer alternative to cigarettes for smokers, vapes can now be bought in hundreds of different shapes, sizes, colours and flavours, and are available in shops on most high streets. But many of those who now use them have never smoked, and there is increasing concern about the number of young people vaping and getting hooked to nicotine. That has led to the government announcing they intend to ban disposable vapes from being sold in the UK. So Jordan, like many vapers, is confused.
