Research Project

In depth analysis of the relationship between smoking, smoking cessation, and vaping in the New Zealand Health Survey

In this study, we will explore in detail patterns of smoking and vaping and investigate whether changes in vaping prevalence are associated with reduced smoking prevalence by examining the relationships between vaping, smoking, and attempts to quit smoking from NZHS data collected between 2015 to 2022.

INSPIRED

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.

Perceptions of the Smokefree 2025 goal among smokers experiencing disadvantage

In-depth interviews probing how people with fewer material resources viewed tobacco endgame policies found they supported denicotinisation and enhanced cessation support, but often relied on industry framing to assert smoking as a “choice”.

EASE/ITC Study

EASE is Aotearoa’s International Tobacco Control (ITC) project, a health study which aims to support Aotearoa New Zealand’s Smokefree 2025 goal.
