Van on vapes, or ban on bapes, or van on bapes, or vans on vape? I, for one, agree that vans shouldn't vape.

[simonbird]

Children shouldn't be going hungry either or parents having to miss meals so that their Children don't go without but after 14 years of the Tories here we are.

More important issues going on sunak you spunk bubble

[davidupton]

He’s just using this to get his face on the telly today, tomorrow this will all be forgotten, voting in the coming election will be like choosing a toilet on day 3 of a festival.

Adults should be aloud to make their own choices young adults and children should not be aloud to buy vapes you have to blame the sellers.

[charliemanners-kq]

just don't sell to kids simple as that blame the shops who are greedy trying to make more money, i prefer vaping to smoking but just because they sell to kids what does that mean for the adults then? you will end up doubling the price off vape i guess which wouldn't surprise me as all you guys want is more money outta us then try to blame it on something else

Previously the brexit bus, now the vape van!!

Children should not be sexually abused by muslim gangs either, but none of you did anything about that.
Children should not be latch key kids because both parents have to now work because of total greed and mismanagement of this country.
Children should not be subjected to politics or threats by immigrants in schools while government does nothing.
There is a long list to join

Can't even spell your headlines. Lol

[jackdXB]

Well, clearly there's a big mistake here, Rishi Sunak says....[ van can't even spell, 😂😊😅

[originalityisdead.]

I'm sure the "van" on disposable vapes will be really ineffective.

[Wherethereisnodarkness]

Politicians priorities are weird. Maybe if children werent so stressed by lockdown and their parents struggling with cost of living, maybe they wouldn't be smoking/vaping.

[jdgoesham]

Keep doing big tobacco's dirty work....

[EhsanMusic]

What van on vapes? What in GOD'S OWN are you talking about

[styletomatoes]

Never hear of kids ending up in hospital from smoking cigarettes, yet vaping is ment to be 95% safer.

[quadirhq]

Looks like the Evening Standard is smoking something else

[colinrobottom]

The first comment about doing the best for the country?

[CL-ungg]

Vape van? Similar to ice cream van? For kids?
