Working with young people to understand the challenges that vaping creates for regulators and policymakers
Addressing the regulatory blindspot
We engage with policy makers to address the regulatory blindspot which leaves young adults 18-24 exposed to the continued marketing of vapes for recreational use.
Helping vapers quit for good
We help young people stop vaping by engaging with professionals to understand the best ways to quit and promoting this in media and social media.
Building evidence on health effects
We identify and promote emerging evidence which will help people understand the health effects of vaping for non-smokers.
Involving young people
The voices and opinions of young adults and children are currently absent from this discussion.
“I reach for my vape before I open my eyes in the morning, before I look at my phone and it’s the last thing I touch before I go to sleep. It’s just so easy, I vape everywhere. It’s not even about the flavour anymore, it’s about the hit”
