“Aotearoa Vapers Community Advocacy (AVCA) says a massive voting constituency is so far being ignored this election, and if tapped it could mean make or break for a minor party. AVCA co-director, Nancy Loucas, says 200,000 votes are potentially up for grabs for any party which can demonstrate it’s truly smokefree by releasing a vaping policy that is evidence-based and better supports smokers trying to quit deadly tobacco. Ms Loucas says a political party which firmly recommits to Smokefree 2025, wants to rid the country of combustible tobacco, and promises not only a workable vaping policy, but a willingness to engage with the vaping community, will be rewarded on election day.”
