The number of teenagers in the England vaping has more than doubled in the last year, according to official figures.

The proportion of 11- to 18-year-olds vaping was 8.6% in 2022, rising from 4% in 2021.

We would like to speak to parents in the UK whose children vape. How old were they when they started? How do you feel about it? Are you concerned about their health? Is it common among their friendship group? Have you spoken to them about it?

We would also like to speak to young people over 18 who began vaping in their teens about why they started and how often they do it.

We would also like to speak to teachers about children vaping in school.
