Whilst the Department has not made a formal assessment on the impact of vaping on young people, we are clear that vapes should not be used by children under the age of 18 years old. Vapes are not risk-free, nicotine is highly addictive and can be harmful and there are unanswered questions on the effects of longer-term use.
