An Australian vaping education program implemented in schools nationwide has proven to be a successful strategy in reducing youth e-cigarette use, according to a study published in The Lancet Public Health. Led by Dr. Lauren Gardner and Professor Nicola Newton from the Matilda Center for Research in Mental Health and Substance Use at the University of Sydney, the Vaping Prevention Program demonstrated a 65% decrease in adolescent vaping one year after completion compared to students who received standard health education.

Dr. Gardner emphasized the dangers of adolescents being exposed to harmful and addictive chemicals through vaping during critical brain development stages. This exposure can impact the brain’s reward pathway and increase the risk of addiction to nicotine and other substances. The study revealed that the Our Futures Institute Vaping Prevention Program, a digital and interactive initiative, enhances vaping-related knowledge and equips young individuals with refusal skills to resist peer pressure.

Feedback from students and teachers was overwhelmingly positive, with over 80% of students and almost 90% of teachers rating the program favorably. Ken Wallace, CEO of Our Futures Institute, highlighted the importance of providing students with the necessary tools to make healthier choices and resist the tactics of Big Tobacco. The program, supported by the Australian Government’s Department of Health and Aging, aims to protect the future of children by combining enforcement measures with prevention programs.

Despite the program’s success, Dr. Gardner emphasized the continued need to address high rates of vaping among young people and prevent nicotine addiction before it escalates. Vaping, which can contain high levels of nicotine, is a known risk factor for tobacco smoking. Prevention efforts are crucial in breaking the cycle of addiction and safeguarding the well-being of young individuals.

The study, titled “The OurFutures Vaping eHealth intervention to prevent e-cigarette use among adolescent students in Australia,” was published in The Lancet Public Health. The research underscores the significance of effective prevention programs in reducing adolescent vaping rates. The University of Sydney, in collaboration with Our Futures Institute, continues to lead the way in promoting public health initiatives that prioritize the well-being of young people.

For more information, the study can be accessed through the DOI: 10.1016/S2468-2667(25)00145-8. This content is provided by the University of Sydney.
