A Nico-Teen is a child or teenager using nicotine products – whether that’s vapes, nicotine pouches, cigarettes or something else.

It might start out as curiosity. A quick puff at the park. A pouch from a friend. But nicotine is addictive, and many young people end up using these products more often than they meant to sometimes without understanding the risks.

As parents, it’s hard to know what to say or how to help. With so many products on the market it’s also difficult to stay on top of the latest trend. That’s why we created this dedicated support space for families in Wales.

Here you will find practical support to guide your child whether they have just tried something, they are vaping every day, or you’re simply worried they might start.
