We are proud to have launched the first ever Youth Nicotine Prevention Toolkit in Scotland.
The pioneering resource, which we co-produced with children and young people in the Borders, aims to educate, inform and challenge nicotine use amongst young people locally.
This toolkit has been developed with several key stakeholders such as Scottish Borders Council, Trading Standards and the Youth Sector, including Galashiels Academy’s Pupil Council.
If you are under 12 years of age and would like support to stop smoking, vaping or using other nicotine products please speak to your school nurse or a trusted adult who can help refer you to your school nurse.
