In 2023, over 20% of children in the UK had tried vaping and e-cigarettes, showing a sharp rise over the last decade whilst the numbers of traditional tobacco smokers across all demographics continues to fall. Not just attracted to the bright colours and fruit flavours available in water-based disposable vapes, the rise of Cannabis CBD and THC products easy to buy online and social media, has become a growing public health concern, making it more important than ever for educators and other school based staff to understand both the attraction and the risks.
This introductory workshop considers:
- The rise in popularity of vaping amongst young people and it’s place in youth culture.
- The current laws in place to ensure that only safe products are placed on the market and restrict the sale of vapes, tobacco and cannabis-based products.
- The potential risks to health, including mental health and emotional wellbeing.
- DfE guidance for schools and links to safeguarding.
- Tips for educating young people and having positive conversations that build the skills to make healthier choices.
