According to the New Zealand Herald, more than two-thirds of New Zealanders want to ban vaping after new legislation in Australia only requires the prescription of e-cigarettes.
A poll asked, "Should we ban recreational vaping?" showing 68% of respondents agreed, while 27% disagreed.
Pediatrician Colette Muir said the New Zealand Academy of Pediatrics was extremely concerned about the level of vaping among teens in the country. "While health policy on vaping is intended to reduce smoking, it is now clear that vaping is causing significant harm to tamariki and rangitahi in Aotearoa," said Muir, referring to children and their families. "More needs to be done first to prevent vaping among young people who do not smoke."
"We're concerned that a surprising number of high school students are experimenting or starting to vape because their friends do, and they've heard it's safe and are curious," Muir said. While the E-cigarette Amendment, which came into effect in November 2022, aims to reduce the attractiveness and availability of e-cigarettes to youth, we believe more needs to be done to prevent youth vaping, especially those containing nicotine.
Health Minister Ayesha Verrall said vaping was important to help smokers quit but needed to strike the right balance to ensure young people didn't fall into the habit. "We haven't found the right balance yet," Verrall said.
National's Christopher Luxon said he was open to everything, including a ban. "I really think there's something wrong with vaping here in New Zealand. I really hope we take a step back and look at them really carefully."
"It's affecting our young people. Originally, they were introduced to help people quit smoking, but it's actually creating a whole class of people and a new addiction sector," he said.
