Vaping has overtaken smoking among young South Australians for the first time with data showing a steep rise in usage. The number of South Australians aged 15 to 29 vaping daily or weekly nearly doubled from 8.4 per cent in 2022 to 15.1 per cent in 2023, according to the state’s Population Health Survey Module System. The smoking rate in the same age group was 8.7 per cent.
“The rise of vaping among young people in just one year is extremely concerning and we know this is probably the tip of the iceberg,” Preventive Health interim chief executive Marina Bowshall said. “We have a long way to go and there is more to do to help turn the tide for our state’s young people.” SA has invested $16 million for enforcement officers to crack down businesses illegally selling tobacco and vapes from July 1.
