EXCLUSIVE: E-cigs and candy shop slammed as a 'disgrace' by locals in Denny amid health fears over underage teen vaping craze.
Parents have reacted with horror to the opening of a “vapes and candy” shop just around the corner from a Scots high school.
One parent, who wished to stay anonymous, told the Record: “The Hayz Vape & Hayz Candy shop has recently been painted a bright pink colour on the outside of the building, making it stand out and be very noticeable with a huge sign advertising their vapes and sweets.“I find it a disgrace that our local council would allow vape shops to open so close to a school and also to advertise and sell sweets in the same premises is disgusting.
But campaigners and politicians hit out at our “disturbing” findings amid growing alarm over the widespread use of vaping products among kids, including on school premises. Despite the store selling both vapes and sweets, on Facebook the company uses two different pages - one called “Hayz Vape” and the other called “Hayz Candy”.
“By associating vaping with the allure of candy treats, shops like these could be creating a dangerous connection in the minds of children, leading them to believe that e-cigarettes are harmless.
