“A quit smoking programme which uses vaping as a stepping stone has seen 70 per cent of participants ditching or cutting down on cigarettes. Te Piki Oranga quit coach Sonia Hepi-Treanor has spearheaded the programme since 2017. More than 100 had taken part in the Nelson-Tasman area and 90 per cent of referrals used vaping devices as a tool to quit smoking. She said the success rate was more than 70 per cent. Success was not just about quitting, but could be making a big reduction in cigarettes smoked a day, and saving money.”
