Smoking, Young People and Mental Health
Research commissioned by ASH Scotland in 2020 found that many young people are not aware of the negative impact smoking can have on mental health and wellbeing. It is not something routinely included in smoking prevention education and there is a lack of accessible information on the topic. Our goal is to raise awareness amongst young people of the positive impact that remaining smoke-free or quitting smoking, can have on mental health and wellbeing.
Smoking, young people and mental health report
In late 2020, the Engagement team at ASH Scotland commissioned a consultation to explore smoking, young people and mental health. This was conducted by YouthBorders and Lothian Association of Youth Clubs.
A copy of the report and recommendations on how youth services in Scotland can be supported to enhance young people’s health and wellbeing through addressing smoking can be found by clicking the button
