Why More Children in the Balearic Islands Are Turning to Vaping — a Reality Check

Answer

Why are more children in Mallorca starting to vape?

Vaping is spreading among children in Mallorca because the devices are small, easy to hide and often come in sweet flavours that feel less serious than cigarettes. Social pressure also plays a role, since some young people see vaping as a way to fit in with a group. Online sellers, informal resale and weak age checks make access easier than it should be.
