Vaping rates appear to be dropping among schoolchildren, according to figures (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the first time in several years, the rates of vaping among schoolchildren in Wales appear to be falling.

Read excerpt
An elderly cancer patient, unconscious at home, surrounded by her worried family, and a five-month-old baby who has been covered in shower gel by their autistic sibling.
