A massive 84 per cent of teachers and staff working at high schools say some of their students use e-cigarettes, according to the George Institute for Global Health research.
"Our study shows some concerning trends in e-cigarette use in Australian schools – particularly primary schools – that need to be nipped in the bud to prevent future harm," she said. Half of the teachers and school staff reported noticing an increase in students vaping in the past two years, while 78 per cent of the teachers and staff said they were either concerned or very concerned about the rise in students vaping.
"Secondary school aged children were reported to be more likely to get someone else to buy for them, receive them from a friend aged over 18 or via the Internet," Professor Pettigrew said.
