Essex County Council Launches ‘Clear the Air’ Campaign

Posted on: June 3, 2026

What is ‘Clear the Air’?

Clear the Air is an Essex County Council campaign supporting parents and carers to talk with children aged 10-12 about vaping. Before misinformation or social pressure becomes established.

Parents can explore information via an AI-powered chat tool or by scrolling animated key facts: Clear the air about vaping.

The campaign focuses on:

  • challenging common myths children hear about vaping
  • addressing how seeing vaping online or among other young people can make it seem normal, even though most children do not vape
  • supporting early, calm conversations at home
  • helping children feel confident, not confused

How can organisations support?

  • sharing campaign materials with parents via newsletters, apps or websites
  • displaying posters or digital assets
  • signposting parents to the Clear the Air website
  • encouraging parents and carers to have a conversation with their child about vaping

Partner resources can be downloaded here: Support the campaign
