The Netherlands launched its “Say no to vaping” campaign today (May 12), an action plan that includes discouraging teens from taking up the habit, helping them to stop, and combating the illegal vape trade. New research on behalf of the health ministry said almost one in 10 children have tried vaping by age 12, and almost 40% of 12- to 16-year-olds who use vapes consider themselves addicted.
According to the research, one in seven teens find it hard to refuse the offer of a vape, while one in six feel they are pressured into using them.
The campaign will run until June 8.
