Changing the debate about Recreational Vaping and the new ‘nicotine economy’

Vaping in the UK is only viewed in proportion to the immense harms of smoking.  The explosion of recreational vaping in non-smokers, particularly children and young people, is being downplayed and must be addressed urgently, and separately from the needs of smokers.

Our conversations with schools, hospitals, GPs, local councils, health and children’s charities, health associations, as well as parents and young people show they think a focus on addressing vaping in non-smokers should be a priority of the new government.

We are developing a coalition of institutions and individuals to explore how best to respond to this challenge. Contact Hilary Sutcliffe if you would like to join us.
