Healthwatch York has launched a new project looking at the experiences of young people and vaping in York.
There has been a significant rise in the number of young people vaping. With mounting evidence that vaping is a serious threat to the health and wellbeing of young people, we wanted to examine why more young people are vaping, the links to smoking cigarettes and other harmful behaviour, as well as the risk of adulterated vapes and unpredictable effects. We are also keen to share information about where young people can get support to stop vaping.
We have launched a survey which is available via the link below and on our website and invite young people up to the age of 25 to share their experiences and views about vaping. Please get in touch if you would like paper copies of this survey.
