This Youth Vaping Position Statement, formally agreed by London’s Directors of Public Health, provides a clear, consistent framework for protecting young Londoners from the harms of addiction. With concerns rising around youth addiction, the mental health impacts, and the appeal of vaping products to under-18s, London’s Directors of Public Health has outlined a set of five priority areas to support coordinated action across the capital. Aligned with national policy and grounded in evidence, the position statement supports local planning and action to ensure a London-wide approach to youth vaping. It sets out the shared messages, priorities and commitments that partners can use to guide prevention, education, support and enforcement.
