Letitia Harding: Asthma and Respiratory Foundation CEO on the increasing number of daily vapers

  • Summary

  • Pros and cons in the latest NZ Health Survey.

    Hazardous drinking rates have fallen from 20.4% in 2019 to 16.6% this year, and daily smoking rates have remained steady.

    However, the number of daily vapers has increased from 33,000 to 480,000 over the past eight years.

    Daily vaping has also increased more quickly in younger age groups, especially those aged 15-17 and 18-24 years.

    Asthma and Respiratory Foundation Chief Executive Letitia Harding told Kerre Woodham that the data they’re seeing correlates to when regulations were introduced.

    She says that the regulations rolled out quite slowly, and the Ministry of Health went about it wrong.
