研究者指出,在新西兰,尤其是毛利族和太平洋裔青年中,游荡减缓了青少年吸烟的下降速度。 Vaping has slowed teen smoking decline in New Zealand, especially among Māori and Pacific youth, researchers say.

在《柳叶刀区域健康—西太平洋》上发表的一份新研究报告发现,抽食减缓了新西兰青少年吸烟下降的速度,特别是在毛利人、太平洋人和欧洲青少年中,如果2010年之前的趋势继续下去,2024年的吸烟率比预期的要高。 A new study published in The Lancet Regional Health – Western Pacific finds that vaping has slowed the decline in teen smoking in New Zealand, particularly among Māori, Pacific, and European adolescents, with smoking rates in 2024 higher than expected if pre-2010 trends had continued. 研究人员对2003年至2024年近600 000名14至15岁学生进行了分析,发现虽然2010年前吸烟人数有所下降,但在抽取现象普遍之后,吸烟速度大大放缓。 Analyzing nearly 600,000 students aged 14 to 15 from 2003 to 2024, researchers found that while smoking declined before 2010, the pace slowed significantly after vaping became widespread. 2024年,每1 000人中有20名毛利人、15名太平洋岛屿人和13名欧洲青少年吸烟,比预计的多。 In 2024, 20 more Māori, 15 more Pacific, and 13 more European teens per 1,000 were smoking than projected. 毛利人 （29%）、太平洋 （19%） 和欧洲 （11%） 青少年的电子烟使用率最高，没有证据表明电子烟可以取代吸烟，这表明它可能是一个门户。 Vaping rates were highest among Māori (29%), Pacific (19%), and European (11%) teens, with no evidence that vaping replaces smoking—suggesting it may act as a gateway. 这项研究突出强调了日益加剧的健康不平等,并呼吁为保护青年制定更强有力的条例。 The study highlights growing health inequities and calls for stronger regulations to protect youth.
