Young girls in the UK drinking, smoking and vaping more than boys

Girls in the UK are drinking, smoking and vaping more than boys, while the country is "top of the charts" globally for child alcohol use, a major report has found. In one of the largest studies of its kind, the World Health Organisation (WHO) examined data from 280,000 children aged 11, 13 and 15 from 44 countries who were asked about their use of cigarettes, vapes and alcohol.
