Are You or Your Teen Addicted to Vaping? Listen to This! Emily Stockings Sep 29, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, Dr Shauna is joined by Dr Emily Stockings (PhD), a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Sydney primarily focused on the study of vaping, particularly within adolescents and young people.

There is much confusion within the community about the safety of vaping compared to traditional smoking. Is it healthier for you, or just as bad?

The legality of selling vapes and vaping is also often questioned - but what does the law actually state here in Australia? Are vapes regulated, and how do you know what chemicals you’re really inhaling? What makes vaping so addictive, and what can you do if you or your teenager is struggling to quit?
