Study finds over 10% of vapes seized from UK schools contain synthetic drug "spice."

A University of Bath study found that over 10% of vapes seized from secondary schools in England contained synthetic drug "spice," with rates as high as 25% in some areas. Spice-laced vapes, often marketed as THC, are easily accessible online and through social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. The study highlights a failure by these platforms to protect children, as per the Online Safety Act 2023, and calls for stricter enforcement.
