Launch of adolescent vaping web page

A web page on adolescent vaping​ has launched on NHS Gloucestershire. Developed by public health, the page has been designed for Gloucestershire’s young people, parents, carers and professionals to be a central resource of information on the risks of adolescent vaping, alongside signposting to support. 

The page has been developed in response to the rise of adolescent vaping that has been seen both nationally and within Gloucestershire in recent years. Trying vaping appears to increase with age; the 2024 Pupil Wellbeing Survey found that 45% of year 12 pupils had ever tried vaping, followed by 29.4% of year 10 pupils. In comparison, under 5% of years 4, 5 and 6 pupils had tried vaping.
