Watch Again

In this lesson, ASH untangles facts from myths on the different impacts that e-cigarettes and vapes have on our health and environment, and how can we support people to move away from consuming them.

A great lesson with many ideas for your Eco-Committee or class to work on topics like Climate Action, Health and Wellbeing and Litter and Waste.

Find out more about the issues discussed in this lesson in the Young People and Vaping report from ASH. 

We are grateful to ASH Scotland (Action on Smoking and Health) for helping to deliver this lesson. 

ASH Scotland – Action on Smoking and Health (Scotland) - is the leading Scottish charity working in and for Scotland on both devolved and reserved issues to reduce the harms caused by tobacco and related products.  ASH Scotland was first founded by the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh in 1973, and then established as an independent charity in 1993.

ASH Scotland works with schools, youth organisations and community groups to create resources that fully inform children and young people about how to improve their health by avoiding smoking or using tobacco related products.

Extra Learning: National Litter Conversation

Listen to our National Conversation addressing the litter emergency, featuring Sean Batty, Ryan Wood, Mike Scotland, Louise Hastie and Laura Young.  Laura was one of the young activists calling for a ban on disposable vapes and while the entire National Conversation is worth listening to, her presentation begins at 38:47.
