The number of New Zealand smokers has dropped to a record low as the government attempts to make the country smoke-free.
The smoking rate fell to 8% of adults smoking daily in the year through July, down from 9.4% a year earlier, according to the Annual New Zealand Health Survey published by the Ministry of Health Thursday in Wellington. At the same time, 8.3% of adults are now vaping daily, an increase from 6.2% a year ago.
