Vaping, Teens and the Truth: Protecting Young People - Episode 126 HSE Talking Health & Wellbeing

Описание: In this episode of HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing, host Noreen Turley is joined by Martina Blake, HSE National Lead for Tobacco Free Ireland, and Kirstie White from the HSE Quitline to explore vaping and nicotine products and what they really mean for young people’s health in Ireland. They challenge the idea that it is just “harmless vapour”, highlighting how flavours, colours and clever packaging are used by industry to attract teenagers.

The episode introduces the HSE’s Take a Deep Breath campaign, which aims to support parents, schools and communities with up to date, evidence informed information on vaping and nicotine products. Martina and Kirsty share practical tips on starting conversations with teenagers, watching out for signs of dependence, and knowing where and when to seek extra help.

Listeners also hear how the HSE Quitline and HSE.ie can support young people who want to quit, offering clear, accessible guidance and signposting to services that can help them navigate the challenges of vaping and nicotine addiction.
