In 2022/23, 15% of Australian secondary school students aged 12-17 years who had never vaped before indicated that they were open to vaping in the future (i.e. when asked about their intention to vape in the next 12 months, they gave a response other than “certain not to be vaping”). Female students were more likely than male students to be open to vaping in the future (21% vs 11%, respectively).
