Vaping-induced illness lands US teen in coma

Fiona from Henderson

Sadly, this story is one now of so many of the severe dangers of vaping!!
It shouldn't just be something that is happening in the U.S., because it's not.
This story should be a wake up call for the extreme dangers of vaping.
The unknown chemicals and additives are far more toxic and deadly than 'normal' cigarettes. I am not condoning smoking in any form, but in this instance, it's the lesser of two evils.
The second hand smoke from vaping is just as dangerous for the passer by as it is for the smoker of the said vape cigarette.
It's harder to walk around a huge cloud from the vape cigarette. We've all seen them escaping from car windows, pedestrians walking down the street, in the car parks in the mall - EVERYWHERE!!!
People are giving up smoking cigarettes to a nastier & more toxic option, and all under the misleading advertising of each of the e-cigarette companies that this is the healthier option to help people give up smoking - which is absolutely FALSE!!!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
