Vaping Nation (2025)

Pupils are being found unconscious at educational establishments because of a growing vaping ‘epidemic’, according to a representative of a school principals’ body.

“We had one incident where two students’ heart rates increased to the point where they became unconscious,” reveals Paul Crone, director of the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals (NAPD).

“Nobody knew what they had taken. Nobody knew. They were just found unconscious in the school toilets.

“Record numbers of them are taking up vaping — I would say it’s at epidemic proportions.”
