Vapes (e-cigarettes) Position Statement
A public health approach to vapes and vaping in Wales uses the best available evidence to:
- understand their impact on health across the whole population, and
- balance risks and benefits that may exist for multiple groups in relation to the health of the population as a whole
Evidence in relation to the impact of the widespread availability of vapes in Wales, the health outcomes of long term vape use and the complex relationships between vaping and smoking is still emerging. Therefore, this position statement will continue to be reviewed and revised as necessary as further evidence emerges.
