Helping Students Learn About Vaping and Smoking

If you're a teacher, parent, employer or health advocate, here are tools you can use to help others stay nicotine free.

Programmes for Pre-Schools to Secondary School Students

The Health Promotion Board (HPB) works with the Ministry of Education (MOE) and Health Sciences Authority (HSA) to bring fun, age-appropriate sessions to schools. These programmes help children and teens:

• Understand why vaping and smoking are harmful.
• Learn that vapes and fake tobacco are illegal and unsafe.
• Practise saying “no” to vaping and smoking.
  

Assembly Skits for Primary and Secondary Schools:

Our interactive skits:

• Show the benefits of staying nicotine free.
• Include games, quizzes and polls.
• Help students learn to say “no”.
• Last about 30 to 40 minutes.

To book a school programme, please email HPB_Mailbox@hpb.gov.sg
