Mark Duffy
Mark Duffy is a Fine Gael senator in Ireland who has been vocal about the growing trend of vape shops selling products that appeal to children, such as sweets and energy drinks. He recently described this practice as 'predatory' and is working on legislation aimed at regulating the sale of vapes alongside child-targeted products to protect young people from nicotine addiction. Duffy has raised public concerns regarding the normalization of vaping in communities and is advocating for measures to sever the association between vaping and appealing snacks.
