Youth Vaping

Clear the Air

Clear the Air is an Essex County Council campaign supporting parents and carers to talk with children aged 10 to 12 about vaping. Before misinformation or social pressure becomes established.
Parents can explore information via an AI-powered chat tool or by scrolling animated key facts: Clear the air about vaping

 The campaign focuses on:

  • challenging common myths children hear about vaping
  • addressing how seeing vaping online or among other young people can make it seem normal, even though most children do not vape
  • supporting early, calm conversations at home
  • helping children feel confident, not confused

Toolkits have been created for Education Settings and Parents and can be downloaded via these links.
