In NZ 20% of 18-24 year olds vape regularly, and other demographics including children have extremely high vaping rates also, yet the Coalition government remains intensely supportive of vape marketing and understates risks, as Labour did before it. NZ is an outlier here, as often stated. The WHO strongly advises banning or at least tight regulation of vapes. We do neither.
