Youth vaping: call for evidence
Youth vaping: call for evidence
The increasing popularity of vaping amongst young people is alarming. Despite it being illegal for young people under the age of 18 to purchase and use vapes, it has been reported that 9% of English 11 to 15 year olds and 10% of Scottish S4 students do. Our work with young people and schools has revealed to us the growing concerns that both young people and teachers have, and begins to show the scale of the problem. Our research which demonstrates the consequences of poor health from a young age on future risk of disease and disability illustrates why providing an environment in which the next generation can thrive is so essential. The availability of resources for schools is limited at the moment, there is a PSHE lesson for year 9, and the upcoming OHID resource pack will be welcomed.1 We would recommend that all resources are co-created with young people, so that the messaging speaks to their values. We are co-producing a resource with our Youth Panel, which will include a VR experience and will be available by the start of the next academic year.

Abstract
The increasing popularity of vaping amongst young people is alarming. Despite it being illegal for young people under the age of 18 to purchase and use vapes, it has been reported that 9% of English 11 to 15 year olds and 10% of Scottish S4 students do. Our work with young people and schools has revealed to us the growing concerns that both young people and teachers have, and begins to show the scale of the problem. Our research which demonstrates the consequences of poor health from a young age on future risk of disease and disability illustrates why providing an environment in which the next generation can thrive is so essential. The availability of resources for schools is limited at the moment, there is a PSHE lesson for year 9, and the upcoming OHID resource pack will be welcomed.1 We would recommend that all resources are co-created with young people, so that the messaging speaks to their values. We are co-producing a resource with our Youth Panel, which will include a VR experience and will be available by the start of the next academic year.
