Smoking and vaping position statement released
The College has released its 'Smoking and vaping' position statement.
The statement highlights that while the College believes vapes have a role to play in helping people to stop smoking, they have become too widely available and regulatory change is required.
The College has developed positions and grouped them into three sections:
- To protect our rangatahi
- To support people who smoke or who used to smoke
- To protect all people from the potential harm from vaping
