New Zealand Minister of Health Ayesha Verrall announced that the government will take active measures to solve the problem of youth vaping and include it as an important part of the 2025 Smoke-Free Action Plan. At the same time, the government also plans to significantly reduce the number of establishments selling tobacco products, from the current 6,000 to just 600.
In response to the issue of youth e-cigarettes, the New Zealand government recognizes its potential harm to social health and the younger generation, and is determined to take decisive action. Health Minister Ayesha Verrall said: “Together we must work to ensure our young people are free from the negative effects of vaping. Through the Smoke Free Action Plan, we will build a healthier, smoke-free future.”
As a key step in tackling youth vaping, the government plans to strengthen regulatory measures to limit the sale and promotion of e-cigarettes, especially to minors. Strict age restrictions and identity verification will be fully enforced and will control the sale of e-cigarettes in areas around schools.
In addition, the government will conduct a wide-ranging education and awareness-raising campaign to convey information to students, parents and educators about the potential health risks of vaping. At the same time, clinical support and counseling services will be provided to those teens who have used e-cigarettes to help them break away from tobacco addiction and return to a healthy life.
As the New Zealand Government aggressively pursues these measures, the Smoke Free Action Plan will further reduce the number of establishments selling tobacco products. The government plans to reduce the current 6,000 sales establishments to just 600 to reduce the availability of tobacco products and further reduce smoking rates.
The New Zealand Government will work closely with relevant departments, schools, families and communities to ensure the successful implementation of this smoke-free action plan. They are committed to creating an environment that supports healthy lifestyles and builds a fresher and hopeful future for New Zealand’s younger generations.
