We have a Challenge 25 policy where we train our staff

We want people to trust us, we don't want to be selling to youths.

But according to research by Cardiff University,

more and more young people are experimenting with e-cigarettes.

A survey of more than 32,000 children aged between 11 and 16

showed that students were nearly twice as likely to have used

e-cigarettes as compared to smoking tobacco.

2.7% of those that took part said they used

The Welsh Government had intended to ban the use of e-cigarettes

That proposal failed and the plans have now been shelved

but responding to this research, the Government said

it is disappointing to see experimentation with e-cigarettes

In a bid to stop e-cigarettes from appealing to children,

health officials have already called for a ban on the sale

of confectionery-like flavours for the devices.

Irrespective of what we feel about e-cigarettes and their possible

relationship to smoking, or in fact other drug use,

it's actually not a good thing in and of itself and large numbers

of young people using e-cigarettes on a regular basis we think

is something we should be concerned about.

Former Labour leader Neil kinnock has criticised Jeremy Corbyn's

handling of the Brexit vote, saying it's turned Tory

divisions over Europe into a problem for Labour.

He told the BBC's Sunday Politics Wales

More than 40 Labour MPs - eight from Wales -

The Labour leader made a strategic error in not saying there should be

a free vote so that members of Parliament could reflect the vote

in the areas that they represent and then simultaneously a focus

really hard on what the conditions of our departure are to be.

An open roof but a heated atmosphere at the Principality Stadium ahead

of a much anticipated fixture in the Six Nations.

It was a penalty apiece after 17 minutes but it was England

who scored the first try, Ben Youngs crossing the line.

But then just before half-time, a superb try from Liam Williams,

Wales took a five point lead at the break.

In the second half, England pushed the Wales defence

but Dan Biggar intervened, denying England the points.

As the clock ticked on, still tight but it looked

like Wales could do it, but with just over four minutes

to go, after a poor clearing kick from Jonathan Davies,

Elliot Daly accelerated past Alex Cuthbert to put England ahead.

We had the opportunities and we played some good stuff,

and unfortunately our composure sort of let us down.

England celebrated stretching their winning run to 16 matches

but Welsh hearts broken, the victory snatched away.
