Dr Assadang, also the department spokesman, also dismissed as untrue a report that the Public Health Ministry had distorted an analysis about safety risks, toxic substances and heavy metal in e-cigarettes.In response to a press release by the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation of New Zealand (ARANZ), saying that e-cigarettes are unsafe, a Maori public health organization is saying that such claims could be putting the Smokefree 2025 goal at risk. Last March, the government of New Zealand announced that vaping products would be legalized, and while many commended this motion, the ARANZ spoke against it. Despite evidence to the contrary, the organization claimed that the products are harmful to the respiratory system.
