Smoking Initiation Trends in New Zealand by yesayesa136 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study examines smoking initiation rates in New Zealand, revealing significant uptake among individuals aged 15-24 years, with a notable decline in initiation after age 24. The longitudinal survey data indicates that 14.2% of 15-17 year olds, 7.0% of 18-19 year olds, and 3.1% of 20-24 year olds became regular smokers between 2004 and 2009. The findings suggest that tobacco control efforts should target not only adolescents but also older youth and young adults.
