New research shows young people in Aotearoa New Zealand strongly support smokefree measures suggesting the government’s plan to repeal the smokefree laws flies in the face of public opinion.
New regulations to reduce youth vaping include important measures that will limit disposable vapes, and recognise these devices have become the product of choice among rangatahi.
ASPIRE Aotearoa is delighted to announce a new scholarship opportunity* for Māori and Pacific students to study for a Masters or PhD degree within our programme of research.
Vaping among adolescents and young people increased markedly over the last 6-7 years with around one in ten 14-15 year olds and over one in five 18-24 year olds vaping daily by 2022.
Several ASPIRE members, along with other researchers and advocates from Aotearoa, attended the 2023 Society for Research into Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT) conference.
