The increasing numbers of people addicted to only vaping over the last ten years is of significant concern particularly the growth in numbers of young people.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been warning for years that young people will get drawn into nicotine addiction as a result of lack of regulation of vaping and aligning vaping with smoking&#8217;s current bans makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of policy more needs to be done to educate people that vaping is not harmless as well as regulating access to all vapes, regulating the way they are marketed and helping all smokers and vapers that have fallen into the nicotine trap to find freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to quit vaping provides a drug free, proven, effective, easy solution to getting free from cigarettes without the need to switch to vaping and remaining a nicotine addict.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n    <section class=\"related-articles
