What do you think about vaping? The government would like your feedback
From RNZ story
Government seeking feedback on proposed measures to crack down on youth vaping
What's being proposed?
Location restrictions: new rules about where specialist vape shops can be located, so they are not near places like schools and sports grounds. This would not apply to general vape retailers like dairies and petrol stations, which are already limited to the sale of three vape flavours.
Flavour names: Restricting vape flavour names to reduce their attractiveness to young people. For example, flavour names like 'cotton candy' and 'gummy bears' may no longer be allowed, with a generic term 'candy' having to be used instead.
Packaging: Limiting vaping liquids and product packaging to a description of the product's flavour
