Hosted by the LYS Drug Education & Prevention Support Project, the morning is open to anyone interested in learning more about the effects of smoking, vaping and healthier alternatives.
‘Through this event, we hope to support young people in making healthier choices, while helping the important adults in their lives feel more confident having these conversations,’ said Niamh Taylor, LYS.
‘Whether you are a youth worker, teacher, parent, grandparent, Garda, social worker or someone who smokes and would simply like to learn more, you are very welcome to come along and join the conversation,’ said youth worker Niamh.
As part of the World No Tobacco Day information visitors can access information & resources, advice and supports that are available to help quit smoking as well as ideas for healthier habits & hobbies.

The DEPS Project is part of the LYS UBU: Your Place Your Space Youth Project that is supported by the Department of Education & Youth and the Limerick & Clare Education & Training Board.
Established in 1987, the UN World No Tobacco Day highlights the health risks associated with smoking and advocates for effective policies to reduce consumption.
