Schools will be told to teach pupils about the health risks of vaping as part of a government crackdown on the issue.
Schools are resorting to exclusions and toilet bans for pupils caught vaping on-site, as well as installing vape detectors, a Schools Week investigation found.
The government said today that its wider review of Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) will now also look at vaping.
Guidance to schools will be “explicit” that children should learn about the harms of vaping, as they do for other substances such as tobacco and alcohol, the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) told Schools Week.
