From Morning Report, 6:44 am on 25 October 2019

School principals say the rapid rise of vaping among teens has spread beyond Auckland and they are hoping promised law changes will happen before the end of the year. They say some of their students are becoming addicted to nicotine through vaping and children in intermediate and primary schools are doing it. RNZ's education correspondent spoke to a Rotorua Year 12 student who said the habit has spread fast among his school-mates this year.
