UK Vaping Ban: Inside the NHS Clinic Helping Kids Quit

The UK is introducing a ban on disposable vapes. This is in response to growing concerns about the number of young people vaping. The report focuses on the work of the only NHS vaping clinic in the UK, based in Alder Hey Hospital, Liverpool. The clinic, run by Professor Rachel Isba, provides support for 11-15 year olds trying to quit. One young person interviewed stated, "Vaping is something that most of us have come across." The report also shows the serious side effects vaping can have. One young man was hospitalized with lung failure due to a bad reaction to vaping. His father said, "My family got told to come into the hospital because they had to say their goodbyes to me, really." The report also discusses the government's efforts to close legal loopholes and make it harder for under-18s to buy vapes. The report concludes with advice for young people who want to quit vaping.
