The New Zealand government has announced a ban on disposable e-cigarettes or vapes. The move comes less than a month after the country repealed a law that aimed to phase out tobacco smoking.
Along with the ban, New Zealand will also raise fines for retailers and individuals who sell vapes or e-cigarettes to minors under 18 years of age.
The new regulations will prevent e-cigarettes from being sold with images or names that might appeal to young people.
According to Associate Health Minister Casey Costello, e-cigarettes remain “a key smoking cessation device.” However, the new regulations aim to prevent minors from taking up the vaping habit.
New Zealand is not the only country taking action against disposable e-cigarettes:
The New Zealand government’s decision to ban disposable e-cigarettes and impose stricter regulations on the vaping industry is part of a global effort to curb the rising popularity of vaping among youth and address potential health concerns associated with these products.
