Sheila Duffy, chief executive at ASH Scotland, said: "As concerned teachers and youth workers across Scotland regularly contact us for information about tobacco and nicotine products such as vapes and pouches, we have produced updated resource packs with robust, evidence-based content to engage and empower young people in Clydebank to make informed decisions about protecting their health and wellbeing.
"Our Tobacco-free School and Youth packs are especially designed to be effective learning aids to facilitate classwork and activities to help equip children to increase their knowledge about the health risks associated with smoking, vaping and using nicotine pouches."
The resources are available to download for free from the ASH Scotland website.
