The Government's confident it's getting on top of youth vaping, with more rules coming in today.
New rules come in today including stricter advertising restrictions for vape retailers and a ban on disposable vapes.
It's in an effort to clamp down on youth vaping, with around 10% of teenagers currently regular vapers.
Associate Health Minister Casey Costello told Mike Hosking she believes we'll see further declines in youth vaping.
She says Action for Smokefree data shows youth vaping rates have declined over the last three years.
However, she says New Zealand isn鈥檛 ready for a full crackdown, and Australia鈥檚 prescription only approach won鈥檛 work here.
She says Pasifika and M膩ori continue to have the highest smoking rates, and reducing availability for those who aren't engaging with the health system is problematic.
