Meet Blodwyn – the UK’s first sheep trained to sniff out illegal tobacco and vapes. 🐑 She’s already helped uncover 47 vapes hidden in a corner shop in Ceredigion. 👀 ash.wales/meet-blodwyn-t…

April Fools! We might not be training sheep (yet 🐑), but the illegal trade in tobacco and vapes is very real. Seen something in your local community? Report it anonymously 📷 noifs-nobutts.co.uk

In Powys, pupils were given what looked like vapes… until they saw mouldy fruit and health warnings. 😳 Great way to expose how flavours & packaging are targeting children. 👀 👏 Diolch Powys Teaching Health Board! 📖 nation.cymru/news/school-pu…

A 15yo was sold vapes at 8 premises in Carmarthenshire during a Trading Standards investigation. Sadly this is an issue across Wales. Our survey shows 55% of Y7-11 who vape are using products likely to be illegal. 🧾 Report: noifs-nobutts.co.uk 📖 pembroke-today.co.uk/news/health/tr…

“I’m hearing of 7, 8, even 9-year-olds vaping.” 😲 In Wales we’ve heard similar stories and our Youth Vaping Survey shows 24% of pupils in years 7-11 have already tried it. Children need support. More youth-focused services are urgently needed. 💬 📖 liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool…

Cigarette filters leach toxins and take over a decade to break down. 👀 In 2021, the Marine Conservation Society found Welsh beaches had the most butts in Britain - over twice the average in England. 🏖️ Banning filters could make a BIG difference. 🌍 📖 portsmouth.co.uk/news/politics/…

From 1st June it will be illegal to sell disposable vapes. If you still have them at home, don't worry, the ban is focused on sellers and suppliers. Please share so everyone knows what’s changing, especially those who haven't seen it yet. 👀 🧾 More info: ash.wales/disposables
