More people are wanting to give up vaping, for a variety of reasons.  Almost 16,000 people reached out to Quitline last year, with a quarter enrolled in the Quit Vaping programme.  Māori make up 23 percent of those seeking support. Auckland University Public Health Professor Chris Bullen says vaping is less harmful than smoking, but also has negative impacts. He explained people are considering costs, potential long-term health effects and if they want to be addicted to something.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
