Lan Cave New Consumer Report, on January 2, according to foreign news reports, New Zealand health advocates will not be disappointed in the census of the population of electronic cigarettes.

The New Zealand Statistics Bureau, which is responsible for the census, stated on its website that the use of electronic cigarettes and electronic cigarettes is the main theme of the 2020 census content.

According to a smaller health survey, since the first census in 2018, the number of people using electronic cigarettes has increased by 151%.

However, Simon Messon, deputy government statisticians of the New Zealand Statistics Bureau, said that the agency is investing funds and energy to ensure that more people answered the census after the voting rate was low in 2018 instead of changing the problem.

Mason said that in view of the "large number" consultation on the changes in the 2018 census, this time people are not interested in changing.

"Generally, every two censuses are a high -changing census, and 2023 is a low -changing population census."

Mason said that in view of the government's annual New Zealand Health Survey, they carefully considered whether the population census is the correct way to obtain electronic cigarette data.

"Although this is a sample survey, it allows the Ministry of Health to better understand how they can achieve better results in electronic cigarettes, rather than using the population census as one of the means."

But the CEO of asthma and respiratory foundation, Letitia Harding, said that it was not enough.

Health surveys usually collect data from about 13,000 adults and 4,000 children-but due to the influence of COVID-19, the recent sample volume is about one-third.

Almost all population answered the population census, Harding said it would make people better understand the electronic cigarette landscape of Aotearoa.

"The general population census can also eliminate some prejudices," she said.

"A health survey pays special attention to health, and obtaining snapshots from the daily life of various industries may allow us to better understand the electronic cigarette."

"If we can start collecting data early and incorporate it into the census, then we have such a benchmark, which can not only measure the frequency of its use there, but also we can. The related negative effects of the coming. "

The Population Census website said that the survey informed how the billions of dollars spent in the country and our communities to change everyone's future.

Harding said that eliminating electronic cigarettes outside the population may mean that it has not received the attention and funds required by the government.

"Over the years, asthma and breathing foundations have been seeking government help to help carry out education in the field of electronic cigarettes. Of course, we have not received any funding from the government."

"We will continue to ensure that we work hard to help reverse these regulations, restrict the level of nicotine and limit the number of retailers that can be sold, and prevent our Rangatahi in fact relying on electronic cigarettes."

"I hope that in five years, we will not see this situation, and we will not see these products cause lung damage for a long time."
