ITV News published this video item, entitled “Is TikTok promoting vaping to under-18s? | ITV News” – below is their description.
TikTok is being urged to take a “responsible approach” towards content relating to vapes and e-cigarettes on the platform.
ITV News found pages dedicated to demonstrating how vapes are made, and even accounts that link to websites to buy the cigarette-alternatives in bulk.
We flagged these accounts to TikTok and they said:”Nothing is more important to us than the safety and well-being of our community, and especially our teenage users.
“We strictly prohibit content that depicts or promotes the sale, trade or offer of tobacco, including vaping products, and we do not allow ads for these products. We have removed the flagged account and multiple other accounts for violating our Community Guidelines.”
