Self-confessed 'vape dragon' Angela Rayner, Deputy Leader of the Labour party, has vowed to give up the habit for the sake of her children.<\/p>\n

The 43 year old Labour MP made the comments during an appearance on This Morning, with hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary on Wednesday, 18 October. <\/p>\n

Angela admitted that she is known for being the 'vape dragon' after picking up the habit as a means to stop smoking, although she said her three sons 'hate it'. <\/p>\n

Speaking to Alison and Dermot, Angela conceded: \u201cMy kids hate it. They absolutely hate vaping and that\u2019s really good. I started vaping to give up smoking and what my concern is now is you\u2019ve got these kids who have never smoked who think it\u2019s OK to vape. <\/p>\n

"It\u2019s good to get people off smoking and it needs more regulation around that, but these bubblegum flavours and disposable vapes that kids can get, it's really worrying\u2026"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She went on to explain exactly what the Labour party would do to tackle the nationwide problem if they were elected in. Angela said: \u201cWe\u2019ve said that we should be cracking down on these disposable vapes and that there should be heavy regulation around kids getting access to them, and to be fair the government have said the same. We just need to get on and do it now. And parents need to have the conversation with their children – my children tell me that it\u2019s there, it really is amongst all of our children."<\/p>\n

She went on: "Would I ban them? I think we should make sure children cannot get access to them. A lot of people, once you\u2019re on it, you can't get off it – it is a substance – and we shouldn't be giving it to our young people. I think it\u2019s more addictive than smoking\u2026but I will give up, it\u2019s really important to my children that I will do that. They are really upset that I still do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Angela also discussed the recent 'glitter bomb' incident after Sir Kier Starmer was covered in sparkling confetti by a protestor on Tuesday, as he gave his big pitch to become Britain's next prime minister.<\/p>\n

When asked what she made of the \u2018glitter bomb\u2019 and how she would\u2019ve handled it, Angela said, \u201cI was concerned about that because of the situation most MPs have faced over the last couple of years, I think the fact that that person was able to get to Keir and for quite a number of seconds, that could\u2019ve been really quite dangerous so\u2026 Nobody knows what that person is going to do. <\/p>\n

"People don\u2019t realise the threats that MPs get so when somebody pounces up at you, that\u2019s at the forefront of your mind and I think Keir handled it really really well. I know the protester apologised afterwards\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n
