Vaping and Young People 26th February 2026
26 February @ 10:00 - 11:30
Intended as a tool for smokers to give up, vaping has increasingly found its way into the youth market, with children as young as nine reported to use them. This increase in youth vaping, particularly of cheap and attractive disposable vapes that have proven particularly popular, have been promoted extensively on social media. Additionally, the rise of CBD and cannabis being vaped means that young people are increasing their risks of harm to mental health and wellbeing. This course covers:
- What vaping is, the risks of CBD and cannabis vaping and the effects.
- Why it has become so popular and links to the media and youth culture.
- How children and young people are getting hold of it and what to look out for.
- The legal status and potential consequences.
