Keynote webinar | Spotlight on adolescent vaping

Recorded live: Wednesday 29th January, 2025

Growing numbers of young people are using e-cigarettes, despite warnings of respiratory effects and addiction.
 
E-cigarettes have proven successful as a smoking cessation tool. But aggressive marketing and attractive packaging and flavors have driven the increase in use among young people who had never smoked tobacco before.
 
How can doctors tackle the epidemic, and what health effects should you prepare to manage in your clinics?
