Health New Zealand's been providing vape kits to smokers for almost a year as part of a pilot programme, initially ordering three thousand kits.  

Newstalk ZB has revealed it's ordering more, including flavours like cinnamon and blueberry.  

Auckland University researcher Kelly Burrowes told Mike Hosking the Government seems to be promoting and supporting vaping as a healthier product. 

She says there's many studies coming out showing there are negative short and medium-term impacts.
