On today鈥檚 Call You and Yours we want to hear about your experience of smoking and vaping. What it鈥檚 like if you鈥檙e trying to give up? And how did you get hooked in the first place? The Government wants to ban disposable vapes to help tackle the rise in the number of young people taking up vaping. It鈥檚 already said it鈥檚 going to ban cigarette sales to anyone born after 2008 to create 鈥渁 smoke free generation鈥. Figures from the Action on Smoking and Health charity (Ash) suggest the number of 11 to 17-year-olds now vaping regularly or occasionally have almost doubled since 2020.
Are you a parent or do you work with young people and are concerned by the impact of vaping or smoking?
Or are you one of the many people who鈥檝e used vapes to quit smoking? What鈥檚 your experience of using vapes? Has it helped you to stop smoking?
