Public Health Agency. (2024) Vaping addiction can soon take hold.

External website: https://www.publichealth.hscni.net/vaping


Vaping can help some people quit smoking, but many young people who vape were not previously smokers. Young people who vape are more likely to start smoking than those who never vape. The webpage resources provide information and advice to help parents, teachers and others working with children and young people to speak to them about vaping and the risks.

The health advice is clear: young people and people who have never smoked should not vape.

Key Messages:
•    Vaping is not for children or young people.
•    Vaping is not for non-smokers.
•    Vaping is not harmless.
•    The best thing you can do for your health is be smoke free and vape free.
•    Vaping can help some people quit smoking.
