L�ess people are smoking cigarettes than ever before in NSW, but a “concerning number” of young people have taken to va**ng, new government data has revealed.
Around one in 10 adults (11 per cent) reported smoking daily or occasionally, according to data from NSW Health’s 2024 Population Health Survey.
That figure is down from 14 per cent in 2015.
Despite the decline in to***co use, other forms of smoking remain an issue.
A rapid rise in va**ng between 2018 and 2023 has resulted in about one in five 16 to 24 year olds taking up the habit - the highest percentage of any age group.
Despite va**ng rates plateauing in the last couple of years, experts now fear a resurgence of smoking later in life, with evidence indicating teenagers who v**e are five times more likely to take up smoking.
“We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to stem the tide of this public health challenge,” NSW health minister Ryan Park said.
“We don’t want to see the years of strong progress in to***co control and smoking reduction undone.”
NSW chief cancer officer and Cancer Institute chief executive Professor Tracey O’Brien said smoking and va**ng were “among the worst things you can do for your health”.
“Smoking is a leading cause of disease and premature death in NSW, and while we’ve seen a positive decrease in to***co smoking, we cannot become complacent about the harms of smoking and now va**ng,” O’Brien said.
�Inhaling chemicals and toxins from v**es have been shown to cause cancer, heart disease and lung damage.
Regular use of ni****ne v**es in young people can also cause changes to brain development and increase symptoms of depression and anxiety.
The Pave app was also launched to provide users with tools and tips to help their quit journey.�
