“Stealth Vaping Is Everywhere”: The Narratives of Young Māori Adults in New Zealand
The study results reinforce that priority must be given to culturally led and culturally safe regulatory and policy changes and advocacy for both smoke- and vape-free environments. Regulating the features of devices to negate their stealth use, as their invisibility was facilitated by their manipulability, should enable the existing smoke-free environment spaces to again deter vape use. Advocates must understand Māori history and context to extend the spaces where the strength that comes from being Māori will overcome the need to vape.
