Media release from the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ

Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ (ARFNZ) are urging that the new Vaping Act regulations focus on the end goal of quitting both smoking and vaping.
Public consultation is now open for the ‘Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990’ regulations, calling for feedback on proposals under review including displays of vaping products in retail stores, the use of harm-reduction statements, and packaging requirements for vape products.
ARFNZ are preparing a submission to address their key concern - that there is a strong focus on promoting vaping as a ‘quit smoking tool’, but very little to encourage users to quit vaping as well.
