Children must be protected from all forms of exploitation in the digital space. Content involving children in the promotion of vape products clearly contradicts the principles of child protection and has no place on digital platforms,

If you want to prevent children from being exposed before they are ready, help them delay creating their own accounts on high-risk social media.
