Words and video by Jocelyn Evans, ITV News' Here's The Story

TikTok is being urged by a public health charity to take a "responsible approach" towards content relating to vapes and e-cigarettes on the platform. It comes as ITV News found pages on the platform dedicated to demonstrating how vapes are made, and accounts that link to websites to buy the cigarette alternatives in bulk. It is illegal for under-18s to buy vapes. If you were buying vapes in a shop, you would be asked for identification to prove you are old enough to buy them. In contrast, the age verification process on the websites advertised on TikTok are a simple tick box. TikTok says it does "not allow the depiction, promotion, or trade of drugs or other controlled substances" or "the trade of tobacco". But these pages seem to be getting around that. Data shows a small rise in the number of 11-17s vaping since 2020 - but charities are worried about the products being too heavily promoted on social media. Hazel Cheeseman, Deputy Chief Executive at Action on Smoking and Health, said: "The way in which we've seen these products [vapes] on social media is really inappropriate, particularly as this seems to be among very youth orientated videos and influencers. "[Taking action on this content] is totally within the bounds of what the platforms themselves can be doing... They could take action themselves and take a responsible approach to the way the products are being promoted on their site." ASH has recently released guidance to public health officials, as well as councillors, schools, parents and retailers, offering helpful information around the issue of youth vaping. While e-cigarettes don’t have the main harmful elements found in tobacco smoke, carbon monoxide and tar, they still have some potentially harmful chemicals and contain nicotine – which is addictive. After ITV News flagged these accounts to TikTok, they said: "Nothing is more important to us than the safety and well-being of our community, and especially our teenage users. "We strictly prohibit content that depicts or promotes the sale, trade or offer of tobacco, including vaping products, and we do not allow ads for these products. We have removed the flagged account and multiple other accounts for violating our Community Guidelines."

What happens if my video gets 1000 views?

If your YouTube channel reaches 1000 views, then no major changes will take place on your channel. On the other side, if your channel reaches 1000 Subscribers, then the channels can become eligible for monetization. For earning money from YouTube's paid partnership, the creator needs to first monetize the channel.

All the beginner YouTubers know the real struggles of garnering good metrics on YouTube with videos. Having a great number of video views, subscribers, likes, and comments add to the performance of video on the platform. YouTube has mandatory eligibility criteria when it comes to monetizing the channel and allowing creators to make money from the AdSense. One must have more than 1000 subscribers, 10,000 views and 4,000 valid public watch hours on the channel. Channels that fit into these eligible criteria can be monetized for YouTube’s paid partnership. Views matter the most on any YouTube channel. A great number of views can bring ads and also boost the brand value of the channel. If you want to get views on your videos rapidly, then you can consider purchasing Youtube views from sites such as Viewsfly.com. These paid services are reasonable and work effectively for any channel.

How can a YouTube channel with 1k views help you?
