Over 1,900 young people in the borough aged between 11-17, are estimated to have experimented with vaping in 2023, a 136% increase compared to 2014.

In terms of regular vapers, the estimate is 600 of 11-17 year olds in Telford and Wrekin vape every day, a rise from less than 100 regular vapers in 2014. 

As a council, we are doing all we can, together with local partners, to bring these numbers down.
