New Zealand has unveiled new measures to restrict vaping amongst young people, including the banning of vapes with enticing names such as 'cotton candy'.

The measures range from limits on sales near schools to a ban on some disposable units, as it extends aggressive anti-smoking campaigns. Although New Zealand has one of the lowest rates of adult smoking among the 38 nations in the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development , it has banned future generations from smoking in a push to be "smoke-free" by 2025.
