ASH Scotland, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2023/24, has been at the forefront of influencing progress in tobacco control and the development of public health policy and practice at Scottish national, UK and global levels. The health charity has been actively involved over many years in understanding the role of e-cigarettes in the tobacco control space since their emergence through engaging with health experts, clinicians, healthcare providers, policymakers, trading standards and other third sector organisations. This ongoing engagement has enabled ASH Scotland to develop expertise in this area, with a wide-angle perspective, and the charity was therefore pleased to submit a proposal to NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s Tobacco Planning and Implementation Group to undertake this literature review of the current evidence regarding young people and e-cigarettes. Electronic nicotine and non-nicotine devices, commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, have been the focus of substantially increased attention by members of the public, media outlets, public health advocates, policymakers and elected representatives during the last couple of years due to their rising popularity among young people. This report evaluates the impacts of e-cigarettes on children and young people, provides insights into the topics listed below and suggests recommendations for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.Collections
