Removing or returning freedom? Views on a nicotine-free generation policy held by young people from aotearoa who use electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS)
Although participants thought a nicotine-free generation could impose personal hardship, most privileged the freedom they thought it could bring over the illusory 'choice' they currently had. Policy-makers should consider looking beyond a smokefree generation to a nicotine-free generation; alongside this measure, they should implement strong enforcement and provide comprehensive support so young people addicted to nicotine can be empowered to stop using ENDS.
