    High school students may be more likely to say no to vaping, if they know more about its effects

    High school students may be more likely to say no to vaping, if they know more about its effects


    An Otago University study -- published in the latest New Zealand Medical Journal -- followed more than three hundred Christchurch students over six months.

    Students provided with educational material about vaping were almost 10-percent more likely to want to quit.

    Researcher Ben Wamamili says younger students -- in Year 9 and Year 10 -- were the most likely to change their minds.
