ASH vs HCA

1/2 Why is @HealthCoA making up evidence with the claim "Evidence from the ASH Year 10 surveys since 2015 suggests a generation of school children has become quickly addicted to very high levels of nicotine"? That data does not exist.

This is an interesting exchange. ASH specialise in the smoking area and take a principled harm reduction approach to policy. They are calling out Health Coalition Aotearoa for fear-mongering over vaping and misrepresenting data from ASH’s own survey.
