A silent storm is brewing among South African youth – the rapid rise of vaping and cannabis co-use. Is this the result of policy failure, such as delayed regulation of e-cigarettes and new cannabis laws? Or is it a sign of a deeper youth mental health crisis?Join us for the 36th UP Expert Lecture where Professor Olalekan (Lekan) Ayo-Yusuf, Chairperson and Head of the School of Health Systems and Public Health at UP, will explore these urgent questions. Drawing on national survey data and global trends, this lecture will unpack the complex interplay between substance use, policy, and mental well-being.
