I am contacting the spokesperson for drugs in all of the UK political parties and all our devolved Parliaments. Eventually, the results of this petition will be presented to all of them. 

Information is power.  People viewing this petition may have been surprised at what I have written. It is based on over 40 years of listening to over 50,000 children and young people, who participated in drugs education workshops, I and volunteers ran across Scotland. Listening to our children empowers them, as we start to fully understand what is going on in their lives.

The most important thing we discovered from listening to children, is that Myths about all drugs, including nicotine in cigarettes and vaping products, is mainly what our children believe, not what their parents or their teachers tell them. 

Myths sell drugs. So far the most common myths about single use-Vaping is: "It contains a different sort of nicotine”   “ Vaping is not addictive”  “ nicotine is not addictive.”  “Vaping relaxes you.” “They would'nt be allowed to sell vaping products if it was dangerous.“ "Doctors recommend vaping." 

All of us can assist the progress of this petition if you do two very important things.

Firstly find an opportunity to talk to your children and grandchildren, about what they know about vaping and post it in the comments on this petition. All of us can learn from that simple act. 

Secondly do not spread myths about all drugs to your children.  

Myths are the best marketing tool for big-tobacco” The myth that “vaping is 95% safer than smoking“  Is like many myths, partly true, and so is shamelessly exploited by the vaping industry, to trap our children in addiction to Nicotine.
