COMING SOON!
This briefing will summarise the patterns and prevalence of smoking by young people, the impact of smoking tobacco upon their physical, mental and social health, and the benefits of cessation. The focus of this document will be on providing guidance on how to assist young people to stop smoking.
If you have any practical experience of helping young people to stop smoking, please contact kirstie.soar@ncsct.co.uk
Due to be published in April 2025. We will distribute via an e-bulletin when completed.
COMING SOON! On this page we will link to useful resources related to young people and stopping smoking.
COMING SOON! This page we will link to evidence sources on young people and smoking, and young people and stopping smoking.
COMING SOON! Case studies: how some areas have developed support for young people wanting to stop smoking
Interestingly, we came across far fewer case studies for young people and stopping smoking than we did for young people and stopping vaping. We will continue to look out for and include on this page various examples of both individual case studies and service innovations about support to stop for young people who are smoking.
There is generally no formal evaluation of these services, and we include them purely as examples, not as recommendations. In fact, given the absence of evidence on young people and stopping smoking, we suggest that any innovation should also include evaluation.
We are interested to hear how you are supporting young people wanting to stop smoking. You can submit a case study on individual clients, or on your service response using the templates below. Please ensure any client details are anonymised and permission sought from clients to share their story. Submit it to kirstie.soar@ncsct.co.uk for consideration.
