Electronic cigarettes and nicotine pouches are rapidly taking over the market, while the use of traditional tobacco is decreasing among young people. Young people may consider vapes and pouches to be a healthier and harmless alternative to cigarettes and snuff. The use of the products may be associated with peer pressure, and it may be difficult for the young person to recognize the addiction themselves. The tobacco industry also targets marketing to young people.
During the theme week, all young professionals who come across them at work are encouraged to boldly speak up about vape and bags. You can ask the young person, for example: Why does he use the products? Or has he thought about stopping the use? It is important to be interested in the young person's own thoughts and perceptions regarding use, without blaming the young person. Adult support and the opportunity for open discussion is important.
