Can You Get A Rough Idea Of Your Energy...

Just found out that its illegal to smoke in cars if you have someone under the age of 18 with you. As I havn't smoked or owned a car for many years this one has passed me by.
However, I'm now curious. Does this law cover vaping as well?
Thanks in advance.
There are no specific laws preventing vaping anywhere at all.
Many businesses (such as almost all retailers and the majority of pubs) prohibit vaping on their premises but it's not against the law to do so.
British Transport Police though can, if they so choose, use railway bye-laws prohibiting 'anti-social behaviour' in situations where passengers ignore 'no vaping' signs but they rarely do so in practice.
The legislation which makes it illegal to smoke in a car with a child present is the Children and Families Act 2014, which amended the Health Act 2006 accordingly. It came into force on 1 October 2015.
