Vaping Group

The Vaping Group brings together Fellows and Members with relevant clinical, public health and policy expertise to consider the health and environmental implications of vaping and other nicotine products. The Group supports the development of evidence-based College policy and contributes to consultations and public debate on issues including youth vaping, disposable e-cigarettes, advertising and promotion, smoke-free and vape-free spaces, and emerging forms of nicotine consumption.

The Group works to ensure that policy reflects the available evidence, protects children and young people, and supports wider efforts to reduce the harm caused by tobacco and nicotine.

This page also brings together relevant policy work and public statements previously undertaken by the College.
