Huh? This is a ban for everyone, not just children



GP's comment confused me too at first but after reading the article a second time, they do frame it as "for the children":

> Ministers in England said the move [...] is intended to protect children's health and prevent environmental damage.


Correct. What do you think I wrote?


If it’s banned for everyone, how would adults be able to buy them for children?


I was describing the current state. Children cannot currently buy vapes; adults can. However, it still ends up in the hands of children.


I don't see why that's relevant to the ban


It's relevant to the article

> intended to protect children's health

It sounds like you disagree and are expressing that disagreement as a difference of understanding. Is that right?
