These substances are extremely dangerous and can cause serious illness. Their illegal status would also mean police charges if found in possession."The substances are used in chargeable vapes and are not the more widely available disposable ‘fruit’ or flavoured vapes.

They have no distinctive aroma, making it harder to identify."We are asking parents/carers to please be vigilant regarding the use of vapes and support us in emphasising the risks involved. "This message will be reinforced through PSHE lessons in school.
