We investigated underage young people’s access to R18 vaping products. We found widespread sharing of vaping products, as well as commercial sourcing. Greater enforcement of regulations and new policies governing outlet location and density are needed.

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.

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”.

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.
