Vaping to quit smoking

Te momi haurehu e auahi kore ai

If you smoke, the best thing you can do for your health is to stop smoking for good. Vaping products are not as risky for your health as smoking cigarettes, but they are not risk free.

If you do not smoke, do not start vaping. Vaping products are only intended for you if you already smoke.

You might be considering vaping to help stop smoking. If you want to use vaping products to quit smoking, stop smoking services can support you.

For more information about vaping, see the Ministry of Health website Vaping Facts.
