This briefing will:

• Summarise the evidence on vaping and health
  

• Provide an overview of current and planned legislation and how this impacts on intervening with young people
  

• Suggest how to raise the issue of nicotine vapes with young people, and how to respond to concerns raised by them, parents and those working with young people
  

• Offer guidance on how to assist young people to stop vaping, and how to resist peer pressure and avoid high-risk situation to prevent relapse

We had hoped to publish this in April 2025 but little did we realise how complex it would be, or how little evidence existed. We wan to get this right, not just done quickly, and a draft is out for expert review. We will distribute via an e-bulletin when completed.
