Wicklow Candidate Calls for Ban on Disposable e-Cigarettes

Wicklow candidate Graham Richmond calls for ban on disposable e-cigarettes at Fine Gael Ard Fheis, gaining party support.

According to a report by Independent on April 15th, Graham Richmond, a candidate running in Wicklow, Ireland, called for a ban on disposable e-cigarettes at the Fine Gael Ard Fheis.

The proposal he put forward was passed at the meeting, and he called on the party to incorporate this issue into government policy considerations.

Graham expressed his appreciation for the decision to ban the sale of e-cigarettes to those under 18, but believes further steps should be taken, such as following New Zealand's example and completely banning disposable e-cigarettes. His proposal was fully approved at the recent party conference, and he looks forward to working with the new Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris to turn this proposal into legislative reality.
