About Stop The Smoke

Who We Are?

Stop The Smoke is a youth-led organisation dedicated to reducing vaping among young people through education, research, and meaningful youth engagement. We believe every young person deserves access to accurate, evidence-based information that enables them to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing.

Our work is built on the principle that prevention through education is more effective than responding after harm has occurred. By working with schools, youth organisations, healthcare professionals, parents, and communities, we aim to create environments where young people can learn, ask questions, and make positive choices.
