From how I read it .... "Any brands that post content related to the sale or transfer of these products will have to restrict that content to adults 18 or older."

So it's not an outright ban.

Re. under 18s vaping.... I have mixed views.
Better they don't start a nicotine habit in the first place, but if they are smokers... I'd rather they had the option too to switch.

And from the notifications I've received already, there's a fair number of groups who have added 18+ to their group title.
