The ban on disposable vapes is a huge win for child health

We welcome the implementation of this ban by the UK Government, and it's a step further towards a smokefree generation. But we mustn't become complacent.

More than 314,000 children and young people in England alone are waiting for these services. We outline the evidence and impact, and call for action across the UK.

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health is mandated by its mission statement to support improving child health in the UK and around the world.

We ensure the voice of children, young people and families makes a difference in child health. Join our birthday celebrations: share our resources and tell us your wish for the next 10 years.
