It may seem harmless to some, but everything indicates that vaping is very harmful to health and may even be more addictive than smoking. With the free lesson packages and/or a guest lesson from a doctor in the classroom, you can make your students aware of the risks and consequences of vaping. Order today and get started right away!
All kinds of resources are available on the Vaping. Your choice. website:

Free vaping lesson package
The lesson package is available in two versions: for havo/vwo or for vmbo.
The difference? The vmbo version uses simpler and more accessible language. The teaching materials contain more visual support, such as infographics and videos. The practical assignments in the havo/vwo lesson package are more in-depth and require students to work more independently.
The information used in this lesson package comes from the Trimbos Institute, the artsenslaanalarm movement, Statistics Netherlands, and medical science.
Stop-smoking and vaping programme at school
Young people do not readily seek help themselves. It is also difficult to quit in an environment where others are still smoking or vaping. That is why Vaping. Your choice. started the ‘Stopshowproject’ in March 2025.
The aim is to:
1. Help as many students as possible at schools who smoke or vape to access professional cessation support in groups.
2. Give students the opportunity to receive this cessation support during school hours, together with others.
3. In this way, help schools become completely nicotine-free.
You can find information about the Stopshow here.
Poster package for schools
Teenagers like to make their own choices. But to do so, they need the right facts. A great deal of misinformation about vaping still circulates on social media. Would you like to make students aware of the facts and risks of vaping at school?
Then download the free digital poster package here as a supplement to the lesson packages. It contains three posters to put up around the school:
- Did you know that vaping can make it difficult to sleep?
- Did you know that vaping can cause stress?
- Did you know that vaping can make it difficult to concentrate?
The posters refer to www.ikstopnu.nl, and students can use a QR code to access a website with the correct information about vaping.
