Vaping Conversation Guide for Parents

GUIDE FOR PARENTS

Vaping is becoming a major issue within our community. This guide can help you have a meaningful, non-threatening conversation with your teen about vaping. You won’t find a set of scripted questions – we don’t want to put words in your mouth. Instead, we’ll share:

1. Conversation starters based on your teen’s vaping behaviour.
2. Insights from our research about what your teen might be thinking and feeling, and what you can say to help.

These insights are based on recent survey interviews and in-depth conversations with teens across Australia. Through this research, we’ve developed guidance to help parents better understand what their teens think and how they feel about vaping.

Before you get started, you should note this guidance isn't based solely on age. It’s also based on your teens’ motivations and attitudes towards vaping, as well as their current behaviours.
