Vapers in NZ now have a reason to rejoice with the country officially legalising vaping.
The decision comes after no less than five years of constant pushing and pulling by the regulators and finally saw the light of the day with the Parliament passing legislation.
So, what all is new with this vaping law? How does it affect individuals and business owners with nicotine salt vape products?
Sure, there are a whole lot of questions in the air that need answering and in this post, we are going to answer all of them.
Read on to find out more.
Classification for Specialist Nicotine Vape Stores
With the new vaping laws in place, all retailers are now required to meet no less than the 70% sales threshold for their products which thereby would classify their store as a “Specialist Vape Store”.
So, what does this do for your business?
Well, for starters it means now you are officially free to sell all types of vaping products in a range of flavours.
Plus, the new vaping laws also stress the fact that a vapor shop online should also exist as a brick and mortar establishment to be called a specialist vape store.
Product Safety Standards, Age And Other Restrictions
The new vaping laws in NZ require all vape retailers, existing and newbies alike, to abide by similar safety guidelines. In other words, it means in terms of availability, there will be no change to the stuff that one sells or purchases online from a physical store.
Also, in terms of age restrictions, the government has now made it clear that no customer under the age of 18 years will have access to vape juice with nicotine of any kind. Besides, a banning order has also been issued for nicotine pouches of all kinds. For a general nicotine vape store failing to meet the specialist threshold that is applicable, there will be restrictions on the flavours that they can sell and will be limited to the kinds like menthol, mint, and tobacco alone.
No Advertising is Allowed
With the new bill on vaping coming into effect, display ads across the country for vaping products will undergo changes. For instance, the in-store display ads will continue, but no forms of advertising will be allowed anymore across other platforms like TV, radio and online channels. By all means, it is a welcome step by the Ministry of Health keeping in mind how such ads can affect young minds as well.
