Plans to stop vapes being marketed to children have been unveiled as part of a UK-wide consultation to introduce plain packaging, stop the use of enticing flavour descriptions and move vapes out of sight in shops.Health Secretary James Murray said it was clear too many young people were being lured into experimenting. Under the proposals, packging would need to be bland, with limits on what imagery and branding could be used. Names relating to confectionery, sweets, desserts and alcohol would be banned to make products less appealing to children.There is no legitimate reason for nicotine products to come in neon…

Reports suggest…
Before the game against Morocco, former England striker Ian Wright called Deschamps’ side “one of the most clear favourites for a World Cup tournament I have ever seen”.After a dominant victory in Boston, in which France had 22 attempts compared to only five from Morocco, who had their only shot on target in the 83rd minute, Wright remained impressed.”It is difficult to see the weakness,” said Wright. “If Spain get through they have the quality to maybe pass through them and maybe the pace of Lamine Yamal to try and punish them, but France look imperious. Then you have got…
