INTENT is a smoking and vaping prevention programme. It works by targeting adolescents who have never smoked prior to its delivery. INTENT reduces smoking initiation by first getting adolescents to engage with anti-smoking messages, then creating Personal Plans (or “Implementation Intentions”) about how to refuse an offer of cigarettes.

Within this course, you will be able to access our core INTENT programme. That includes

• Vaping– 4 Lessons

Our evaluation published in 2025 investigating teachers’ experiences of delivering the INTENT vaping materials found that: 

• 96% of teachers had a positive experience delivering the INTENT vaping materials.
• 98% perceived that pupils were engaged with the programme
• 89% felt the materials encouraged pupils to make informed choices about vaping. 

The programme is available for purchase under licence. This can be by a large organisation such as a Local Authority or Health Board, or by an individual school. To find out more about how to purchase a licence, Contact Us.
