Vaping, or using E-cigarettes have been identified as harmful to children and young people. The research increasingly shows that more and more young people are drawn to vaping and smoking e-cigarettes over traditional cigarettes. This one hour seminar aims to create parental awareness of the harms of vaping. In the seminar we will explore: what are vapes/e-cigarettes? What is contained in an e-cigarette? What impact does “vaping” have on the adolescent body? Finally we explore some tips for parents in communicating with their young person about the dangers of vaping.Vaping, or using E-cigarettes have been identified as harmful to children and young people.
