1 in 5 kids in Greater Manchester vape regularly or have tried it. Prof Rachel Isba runs the pioneering service for children aged as young as 11 but she says that some are vaping aged six and seven, in a survey of 6,000 kids by Healthwatch Trafford in Greater Manchester. Worryingly 31% said they had their first vape in the morning while still in bed. The UK’s first NHS clinic for youth vaping shows just how serious the problem has become. #YouthVaping #PublicHealth #VapeCrisis
