"Young people who participated in consultations had diverse perceptions about vaping and vaping culture in schools. The data found that vaping is used as a stress management tool and there is an alarming misunderstanding of how harmful it can be to your health.

Participants held the belief that vaping can’t be that bad for you, given that adults had not done more to stop them.

The top three ideas young people have to support vaping cessation are in-person support tailored to young people, an app and social media support and information messaging.

The data highlights that young people believe that it’s not a one-size-fits all approach, and it’s important that a suite of supports are developed to ensure more young people are able to find a support suitable for them to quit vaping."
