An anti-smoking advocacy group is calling for a 21-year-old age limit for buying vapes.

Action for Smokefree 2025 has outlined new proposals that aim to help tackle youth vaping in New Zealand.

According to the group, in 2020, daily vaping in Year 10 students increased from one percent to almost 10 percent, and from one percent to 18.6 percent for under 25s.

ASH Director Ben Youdan told Kate Hawkesby the group's recommendations aim to improve prevention.
