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.

Resources You Can Put Up in Schools

You can request posters and social media content to support a nicotine-free space in school.

Help for Parents Who Vape or Smoke

If parents vape or smoke at home, children may be more likely to try it too.

Parents who want to quit can join the I Quit programme.

It offers:

• Simple daily steps to quit smoking or vaping
• Support and motivation to stay smoke-free
• Help from trained staff and partner pharmacies

How To Sign Up
