In this week’s The Orcadian

This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now available in shops and online.

On the front page, we report that an islands councillor is calling for a ban on single-use vapes, after giving the habit a try himself in order to understand the trend.

Amid reports that adults are buying these products for under-18s, while other youngsters are accessing them online, Councillor John Ross Scott has called on authorities both locally and nationally to take action.
