Primary school children already vaping, anti-smoking activist claims


PETALING JAYA: Despite being dressed in their school uniforms, primary school children are no longer afraid of vaping and are buying them openly, says an anti-smoking advocate.

Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) education officer N.V. Subbarow claimed this was observed outside several schools in Sungai Ara, Penang where the children aged between 10 to 12 years-old were seen heading to the shops nearby to purchase vapes, and later using them.
