Inspired by the whakataukī ‘ka pū te ruha, ka hao te rangatahi’ (‘when the old net is cast aside, the new net goes fishing’; often used to refer to intergenerational shifts in leadership), this project centres on elevating Rangatahi Māori voices, experiences, and perspectives in the development of tobacco and nicotine control policies.

We explored how young people interpret wellbeing and intersections between vaping and wellbeing. We found vaping disrupts all aspects of wellbeing, causes anxiety, lethargy, and loss of autonomy, harms whānau relationships, and impairs how rangatahi view themselves.

INSPIRED is a collaborative project across the first six countries to adopt government-endorsed endgame goals for smoking: Aotearoa New Zealand, Canada, Finland, Ireland, Scotland, and Sweden.

Te Ara Auahi Kore (TAKe) is a series of studies that provide much needed high quality evidence for addressing smoking disparities between Māori and non-Māori.

This five-year research programme comprises three whenu that collectively aim to reduce smoking disparities by accelerating progress towards a Smokefree Aotearoa.

This project examines how tailored RYO pictorial warnings and efficacy messages, developed using insights from whānau interviews, influence cessation-related beliefs and choices among people who use RYO tobacco.
