The more vape stores near schools, the more young people vape.
Fresh research from Auckland University shows almost half of schools across New Zealand are within a ten minute walk from a vape store
The government passed a law in 2023 banning specialist vape shops from opening within 300 metres of schools, but the laws didn't apply to hundreds of existing suppliers.
Study lead Ronan Payinda told Mike Hosking that walking past vape shops on the way to school increases the risk of vaping for those who have never done it before.
He says he's concerned this introduces a new generation to addictions that may last a lifetime.
