Raising Awareness of the Dangers of Vaping Amongst Children
That this Assembly recognises that the 2024 Northern Ireland Audit Office report on tackling the public health impacts of smoking and vaping, shows an increase in 11-16 year olds vaping; is concerned that children vaping in schools is detrimental to a child's health and educational outcomes; believes that greater awareness must be raised with children in schools about the risks of vaping; acknowledges that teachers and school staff must have the support and resources they require to raise awareness and inform children on the risks of vaping; and calls on the Minister of Education to bring forward a plan to end vaping in school grounds and to reduce the number of young people vaping.
