Help Vape-Free Kids get rid of the sweet fruity flavoured vapes that are hooking kiwi kids into nicotine addiction.
Nationwide
Vape-Free Kids NZ is a voluntary organisation set up by parents concerned about the high rates of vaping among kids and young people in Aotearoa.
Thanks to amazing donated support from our members and partners, we have launched “Quitting Candy”, a campaign that highlights the way sweet and fruity flavours are being used to hook Kiwi kids into nicotine addiction.
In NZ vapes come in over 1600 kid-friendly flavours like chocolate, caramel, watermelon and peach. In fact over 80% of vapes sold are sweet or fruity flavoured.
Is it any wonder then that more than 27,000 15-17 year olds are addicted to vaping in NZ?
Vape-Free Kids believe it's time to stop sugar-coating the problem.
We are asking New Zealanders to sign the Open Letter on our website: https://vapefreekidsnz.org/
calling on the Government to restrict vape flavours to tobacco, mint and menthol, like Australia.
We want to reach as many people as possible, but getting the message out there about our campaign costs money!
Can you help us take our message wider and get more support for a law change?
Vape-Free Kids NZ has always been powered by ordinary people who believe our kids deserve better. If enough of us get behind this, even small donations can add up to something incredibly powerful.
Please help us give this campaign maximum impact by donating now.
And please share this page with your friends, whānau, workplace - anyone who believes in protecting young people from nicotine addiction.
Thank you!
