Science Showcase
Smoking is a pandemic that kills millions globally, including an average of 13 Kiwis each day.
Faced with the need to replace dying customers, tighter regulation, and heightened public awareness of the dangers of smoking, tobacco companies have pivoted to vaping. Now a new generation is addicted to nicotine and there are questions that desperately need to be answered...
Is history repeating? How real are the risks? Are we on the cusp of a new nicotine-based pandemic? How can we break the cycle?
Te Mana o te Hā is a hands-on science showcase that journeys through history to explore those issues. See what your face would look like after years of smoking, investigate a diseased lung and test your heart rate as you interact with the showcase's four modules.
