Rishi Sunak has criticised vaping corporations for interesting to youngsters - and revealed he's wanting ahead to US singer Katy Perry performing on the King's coronation live performance.
In an interview with Sky News' youngsters's programme, FYI, the prime minister hit out at vaping corporations for focusing on youngsters with vibrant adverts and characters.
He informed presenters Maya and Braydon: "These adverts for these things [vapes] are designed to appeal to kids, you know, with the colours they use, the characters they use - that's not right - their flavours.
"These are all issues that should not be occurring."
Earlier in April, the federal government introduced it will launch an "illicit vapes enforcement squad" as a part of a crackdown on the unlawful sale of e-cigarettes to under-18s.
And final week it launched a "call for evidence" into the way to cut back the variety of youngsters accessing and utilizing vape merchandise.
"No one should be vaping under 18. It's illegal to sell vapes to children," Mr Sunak informed FYI.
"But yet we know that more and more young people are and we want to stop that.
"So we're doing a few issues. One is we're having a crackdown squad.
"We've put millions of pounds behind it and they're going to go make sure all the rules are enforced and people should not be selling vaping products to young people.
"And in the event that they do, then dangerous issues will occur to them."
He added the federal government can be asking individuals for the most effective concepts to stop youngsters from vaping.
"That's how governments make policy. I don't just wake up in the morning and just announce something," he mentioned.
"You know, we take the time to talk to people, to listen, to get ideas and then make the right decision."
