KiwiCig are quoting Ministry of Health statistics saying it is 95% safer to vape than smoking cigarettes. There are lots of differing opinions and beliefs about vaping. Some say it’s as bad as smoking, others say it helps with quitting smoking. It is actually somewhere in the middle. Vaping is not for non-smokers but it has the potential to help smokers quit.
The Ministry of Health recently launched a new website Vaping Facts, so that New Zealanders can have a credible source of information about vaping. Vaping has the potential to contribute to the achievement of the Smokefree 2025 goal and Vaping Facts will give people a centralised source of good facts to help them quit.
The website includes essential tips for success, support for quitting smoking, and vaping safety, including links to the local stop smoking services. It also includes key facts about vaping – such as what is vaping, nicotine and vaping, the risks of vaping, vaping and the law, and vaping and pregnancy.
Vaping is not for children or non-smokers. It is not harmless but it is much less harmful than smoking. It is also much cheaper, and Vaping Facts includes information which demonstrates the costs and relative harm when vaping is compared to smoking.
The Ministry has worked with the Health Promotion Authority (HPA) to design this website for people who are looking to quit smoking and those who support them, anyone interested in vaping as a way to quit smoking and people looking for New Zealand-specific information about vaping. It is also aimed at people who are looking to quit smoking and those who support them.
The government has indicated they want New Zealand to have vaping-specific laws and regulations, and these are currently being drafted. Local councils and individual businesses can make their own policies and rules around vaping. This is a way for them to decide where people can vape.
KiwiCig provide hassle free online shopping, but are also open to the public Monday to Friday, so for more information on flavored vape liquids, vape refills and vape shops Auckland please go to www.kiwicig.co.nz .
