Planet of the Vapes – Young People and Vaping

In 2022 child respiratory doctors voiced their disapproval of the government’s failure to pay attention to warnings about the dangers associated with selling e-cigarettes in child-friendly packaging featuring names of popular sweet treats. The products, which included flavourings such as banana milkshake and jelly babies, contained 2% nicotine, the highest concentration allowed in the UK. Since then, the UK government is considering imposing a ban on single-use vapes amid growing concerns about their appeal to children and teenagers.

In a rapidly evolving landscape of youth behaviours, teachers, youth workers and educators play a crucial role in shaping the health and well-being of the next generation. KIP Education is proud to introduce our dynamic new and interactive training course which aims to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to effectively and proactively engage in conversations about vaping and e-cigarettes with young people.
