A new website has been launched aimed at stopping young people in Scotland from becoming smokers.
YouthLink Scotland, the national agency for youth work, said 13,000 young Scots take up smoking each year.
Now, the agency and other youth organisations have joined forces with anti-smoking charity ASH Scotland to campaign for a tobacco-free generation by 2034.
To mark national No Smoking Day on Wednesday, the new partnership has launched the Tobacco Free Generation website to offer young people support to make positive choices for themselves, protection from pro-tobacco commercial interests and help with stubbing it out.
ASH Scotland chief executive Sheila Duffy said: "A fundamental part of youth work is to promote the health and well-being of young people - and that has to include supporting young people to make positive decisions on tobacco.
"We know that most people who smoke started when they were children and now say that they want to quit.
"Positive engagement from youth workers has a key role to play in ensuring that smoking is limited to the small number of adults who actively choose to do it."
Jim Sweeney, YouthLink Scotland chief executive, said: "Scotland's 80,000-plus youth workers and adult volunteers are in prime position to be great role models and help young people make positive choices when it comes to smoking.
"Over 50% of young people are involved in youth work in some form so this new resource could have a substantial impact."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
