The sale and use of disposable vapes will be banned across the UK from Sunday 1 June.

The ban aims to not only protect the environment but also children's health.
It is illegal to sell any type of vape to anyone under the age of 18, but there have been concerns that single-use disposable vapes, which often come in colourful packaging and different flavours, have played a big role in the rise in the number of young people vaping.

The NHS says at least a quarter of children aged between 11 and 15 year have tried vaping.

We met two children who have been working undercover with their local council to try and stop shops from selling vapes to underage people.
