Experimentation with e-cigarettes has grown rapidly among UK adolescents. To date, this topic has been primarily researched in secondary schools, with less understanding of development of attitudes and behaviours at an earlier age. This research reports qualitative data from interviews with pupils, parents, and teachers at 4 case study schools in Wales (N = 42). It draws on Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory to consider how the intersection of systems surrounding primary school-age children and their interaction with these systems, shape knowledge, and attitudes towards e-cigarettes and tobacco. Findings indicate that consistent messaging on smoking from school and family was reflected in strong disapproval among pupils and clear understanding of harms. This was less evident for e-cigarettes, where messages were mixed and inconsistent between home and school, with concerns over what to tell children about e-cigarettes in light of mixed messages and absence of official guidance. Implications of findings for policy and teaching are discussed.

In modern society, spiritual and moral education is one of the relevant areas in the field of education. Problems in the field of education, associated with the lack of, first of all, a unified ideology, were the basis for studying the established approaches to understanding the subject and content of education. Research and retrospective analysis of the philosophical and pedagogical heritage of the great Russian teacher, psychologist and theologian of the twentieth century V.V. Zenkovsky about the process of spiritual and moral formation of the personality of a child of primary school age made it possible to highlight his fundamental ideas of education. Spiritual and moral development of a personality in Zenkovsky’s pedagogy is impossible without the formation of moral principles in it, where the sphere of “spirituality” is the highest value of a person, the formation and correction of which goes beyond the framework of rational understanding. The basis of such a development of the child is the Christian-humanistic tradition, in which the spiritual and moral personality is integral, free, aware of the unity of the Creator and creation, and sees his life’s destiny in the continuation of God’s creation. Thus, for the theory of the education of Zenkovsky of primary school children, the fact that only moral education, filled with religious meaning, forms the true spiritual order of the child, is essential.
