Retailers fear the UK's vaping ban will hit convenience trade after news the Australian government will ban recreational vaping.

Experts say they are dealing with an epidemic of vaping among young people, many of whom do not smoke.

Australia will impose restrictions on flavours, colours, nicotine strength and other ingredients, as well as plain packaging. Sales of e-cigarettes will be limited to pharmacies.

Dennis Williams of Edinburgh's Premier Broadway, speaking of the UK, said that while steps were needed to limit sales, common sense had to be used.

"The ban doesn't work," he added. "They fuel the illicit trade and restricting sales through pharmacies will put more pressure on the NHS."

John Dunn, director-general of the British Electronic Cigarette Industry Association, said that a similar ban in the UK would fuel the black market and would not solve the problem.

"All of this will make it difficult for adults to buy vaping products," he said on LBC radio.

"We're calling for £10,000 fines for retailers selling vapes to minors and for vaping retailers to be licensed."

Last week, Westminster hosted a debate on youth vaping, hearing calls for an outright ban on vaping.

Environmental campaigner Laura Young's campaign to ban single-use items in Scotland is gaining momentum, with 14 councils pledging their support.
