Public favours tougher rules on vaping, Island survey reveals

More people on the Island believe the government needs to do more to curb vaping rather than smoking, according to new research.

Guernsey-based Island Global Research carried out a huge survey about smoking and vaping in the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey and Gibraltar.

The results showed more people in the Isle of Man had never smoked or vaped than in the other Crown Dependencies, and we also have the second-lowest daily smoking and vaping rates.

The study also showed 63 per cent of Island residents supported higher taxes on tobacco and banning its sale to those born after 2009.
