Unpacking Vaping
Special Interest Group
To support an informed response to adolescent vaping at the grassroots level, we established the Unpacking Vaping Special Interest Group (UVSIG). This group meets monthly and brings together community members, health and education professionals, and researchers who share a commitment to preventing and reducing adolescent vaping.
The purpose of the UVSIG is to:
- Share and discuss the latest information, strategies and what is needed to support the prevention and cessation of e-cigarette use in adolescents, particularly in schools
- Identify opportunities for collaboration
- Provide a safe space for open discussion
We meet on the second Tuesday of each month, via Zoom.
