Show Notes

An anti-smoking group says young people don't think vaping is as cool as it used to be. 

Action on Smoking and Health has released the results of its survey which asks more than 30-thousand Year 10 students about their smoking habits. 

It shows 7.1-percent of the age group vape daily - down from the 10-percent peak in 2022 - and less than a third have ever tried it. 

ASH Chair Robert Beaglehole says Government policy has played a big role in the change. 

He says it took some time for the regulation to catch up with the issue - but it is clearly working now.
