The government of New Zealand will be distributing free vape starter kits to smokers seeking smoking cessation support, a strategy which has been tried and tested in the UK, yielding positive results.

While New Zealand’s smoking rates had been falling for decades, the adoption of vaping products significantly sped up this trend. Smoking rates dropped from 40% of men and 32% of women in 1976 to just 8.3% of adults in 2023. In contrast, vaping rates rose to 11.9% in 2023, up from 1.4% in 2016.
