This toolkit has been designed for those working with young people in a youth setting. The purpose of this toolkit is to provide accurate and up-to-date information on e-cigarettes and other nicotine delivery systems. This resource explains what these devices are; the health effects that they can have, in particular on a young person; the environmental impact of their use; why we should be concerned about a young person vaping; how to address this issue and have a conversation on this topic with a young person. This toolkit can be adapted to fit into your current suite of health behaviour programmes or used to start a conversation with a young person or group of young people. It has been developed as a prevention tool. However, it can also be used with young people who are currently vaping or using other nicotine delivery systems.

Section 1 has information on e-cigarettes and other nicotine delivery systems. This section should provide you with all the information that you need about these devices. See contents page for all of the topics covered.

Section 2 has a selection of activities covering different aspects of vaping and nicotine addiction. These activities can be delivered as part of an existing health promotion programme, used to deliver stand-alone sessions or act as a conversation starter.
