Advice, guidance and practical solutions for teachers, students, and parents to address vaping head-on.
The Growing Problem
Across the UK, vaping among students is rising. Research shows that 1 in 5 secondary school pupils has tried vaping, with 1 in 14 currently vaping.
The rate increases with age, with 12% 16-17 year-olds and 15% 18 year-olds currently vaping.

How Vape Escape Supports Schools
At Vape Escape, we understand that schools need more than a simple webpage, generic leaflets, or over-simplified lesson content. Vaping addiction is a complex issue that requires expert input and a structured, in-depth approach.
We have a bespoke set of services that we provide to schools, including advisory work, workshops for teachers, students, and parents, one-to-one coaching of students, and access to our digital pack.
We also are in the process of developing three RSHE lessons for KS5 students aligning with the new statutory changes coming in from 2026.
Our solutions are practical, evidence-based, and easy to implement - whether you’re a headteacher setting policy, a PSHE coordinator looking for classroom resources, or a teacher on the front line who simply wants to know how to respond.
We also offer our services as a complete, licensable package designed to give schools all the tools they need to address vaping consistently and effectively.
For Teachers
We provide tailored guidance that empowers staff to feel confident on the topic of vaping and handling vaping-related issues in and around school. Training also includes practical advice on spotting early signs of vaping, supporting young people who may already be struggling, and the initial conversation when broaching the topic.
RSHE Modules
Our KS4 module content consisting of 3 lessons is designed to plug straight into your existing RSHE programme, saving teachers time and ensuring compliance with current Department for Education guidelines. By normalising conversations about vaping in class, schools can shift attitudes and build long-term resilience.

For Students
Dr Picot delivers non-judgemental, engaging presentations to secondary school age students designed to create awareness around vaping and empower students to make informed choices based on current evidence and his own experience. We also have an online course (16+) and mobile app designed to allow students to engage with our quit vaping content at their own pace.
For Parents
Tackling vaping is most effective when schools and families are aligned. Our parent resources include downloadable guides that give parents the confidence to start open, non-judgmental conversations at home. This creates a supportive circle, reducing the chance a young person will start vaping, and increasing the chance of quitting if they are addicted.
Transforming Schools, Families, and Futures
When schools commit to addressing vaping, the results are felt across the entire community. Students benefit from healthier choices, teachers regain focus in the classroom, and parents feel reassured that they’re not facing this issue alone.
For Teachers
Teachers already face enough pressures without vaping becoming another battle.
Our resources reduce classroom disruption by providing packaged RSHE lesson content for KS5 (coming soon), evidence-based guidance, and confidence to teachers when talking about vaping.
This allows staff to feel supported, educated, and consistent in how they approach vaping across the whole school, as well as individual students in need of help.
For Students
Quitting vaping is about more than avoiding nicotine - it’s about regaining control, wellbeing, and focus.
Students who engage with our programme will learn how to manage addictive behaviours, reduce stress without relying on vaping, and focus more effectively in lessons.
Over time, this creates healthier routines and better outcomes, not just for school but for their resilience as they move into adult life.
For Parents
Parents often feel in the dark when it comes to vaping.
They may suspect their child is vaping, but don’t know how to raise the issue without conflict.
Our guides and workshops bridge that gap, giving parents language, strategies, and reassurance.
By opening up conversations at home, students are more likely to quit successfully and feel understood, not judged.

Thanks to Marc for an engaging, informative, and accessible presentation on the physical and psychological effects of vaping. Our students left feedback about feeling well-informed and better equipped to make thoughtful, healthy choices about their own behaviour about vaping and wider wellbeing aspects.
