Research into impact of vaping among 43 projects to receive €24m investment

A €24m investment by the Government in 43 different research projects includes half a million euros in funding to examine the impact of vaping. A total of €550,000 is being awarded to a Royal College of Surgeons project to examine the impact of vaping, particularly on young people. The Government has previously raised concerns about e-cigarette adverts being targeted at children and what health implications it could cause. Another project aims to establish a wellbeing study to examine student health colleges on the island of Ireland and how parenting may impact on the transition to college.
