The Irish government plans to ban the use of e-cigarettes in schools

The Irish government plans to ban the use of e-cigarettes in schools and is considering banning them from teenagers under the age of 18.
According to Irish media reports, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has stated that the government will consider the possibility of banning e-cigarettes in schools.
Irish legislator Alan Dillion publicly expressed "deep concerns" about the use of e-cigarettes by minors in the House of Representatives on October 24th.
He said he has received some phone calls from "worried teachers and parents", reflecting that the use of e-cigarettes is becoming increasingly common in primary and middle school students.
Dillon told Prime Minister Valladkar, "The problem is not limited to schools, but there are also students gathering and using e-cigarettes in public places." Dillon suggested that the government should introduce regulations prohibiting the use of e-cigarettes in schools.
He also proposed developing an educational project to warn children about the dangers of e-cigarettes. In response, the Prime Minister confirmed that the government will explore the issue of prohibiting the use of e-cigarettes in schools.
He said, "A regulation will be introduced to prohibit the sale of e-cigarettes to minors and adopt a licensing system, so that only recognized stores can sell e-cigarettes. We will consider banning e-cigarettes in schools. This idea has some value
Previously, Irish Health Minister Stephen Donnelly stated that he was prepared to "crack down on e-cigarette companies".
He said:
We are planning to ban the sale of e-cigarettes to children, whether it is anyone, children or teenagers, as long as they are under the age of 18
