✍️ The NHS has set up a stop-vaping clinic for teenagers in an attempt to curb the rise in e-cigarette use among young people.
👉 The clinic is specifically designed for 11- to 15-year-olds who are nicotine-dependent and want to stop vaping. 👉 The clinic will provide tailored treatments, including nicotine substitution or therapy-based approaches, to help decrease the amount teenagers vape. 👉 The lack of current data on how vaping affects young people means treatment may take several forms, with questions raised in consultations about the level of nicotine dependence and the idea that there may be cases of young people who are addicted to the process of vaping but not to nicotine. 👉 The clinic will also provide support around peer pressure and behavior to help teenagers quit vaping.
