Tackling Youth Vaping: A Growing Concern
Britain is facing persistently high youth vaping rates, which have doubled since 2021, with 20% of 11–17-year-olds having tried vaping.
Current regulations, including the proposed Tobacco and Vapes Bill and a ban on disposable vapes, have fallen short in curbing youth access to vaping products.
According to this year's Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) data, an estimated 1.1 million youth have tried vaping, with 7% currently vaping and 3% vaping daily, indicating a lack of progress in reducing use among children.
Restricting what’s visible or available on shop shelves is no longer enough in an age where products move freely through social networks, informal/illicit markets, and digital channels.
The situation calls for a deeper examination of effective solutions, potentially leveraging new technology to address the issue.
