The new regulations of the "Smoke-Free Environment and Controlled Products Act" will take effect on August 11. Thousands of dairy factories and service stations across New Zealand will be prohibited from selling e-cigarette flavors other than tobacco, menthol or menthol.
In this regard, New Zealand’s professional e-cigarette retailer stated: “The new law promulgated this week to restrict the sale of most e-cigarette flavors will significantly reduce the chance of minors’ access to e-cigarettes.” It is reported that these three flavors are well received by New Zealand e-cigarettes. The popularity of cigarette users and the development of flavors help them to quit smoking. Professional e-cigarette retailers also provide richer fruit flavors.
Nabhik Gupta, spokesperson for Shosha, New Zealand's largest e-cigarette retailer, said that his e-cigarette retailer has always strictly implemented the R18 policy, so minors will not come to the store to buy e-cigarettes. However, after the new regulations come into effect, it is expected that underage customers who purchase from dairy products factories and service stations will find it difficult to obtain more popular flavors in these places.
Although the opinion of minors is that it is easier to buy e-cigarette products from gasoline and convenience stores, if they are limited to traditional flavors, then minors will try to buy their favorite flavors from e-cigarette retail stores
Nabhik Gupta added: “In order to avoid this, we have reminded our managers and employees to ensure that they understand our in-store manuals and policies regarding purchases by minors. Our existing agreement includes a requirement for identification documents to ensure that they are 18 years old. The above sign is located in front of the store and is clearly visible, and anyone wearing school uniform is denied entry even if they have an ID card. Some teenagers try to provide false identification and then we will submit it to the police. Underage customers are being denied service Sometimes I get angry, and we expect that this will happen more often as the new regulations come into effect.
"Sales data also show that from the data of the closed cartridge system provided by convenience stores, the purchase volume of adults of legal age has increased. This may mean that some of these cartridges have gone to minors. In Xinxin Before the regulation came into effect, some convenience stores in New Zealand had already stopped the supply of some e-cigarette flavors-in order to avoid product storage, because they will not be able to legally retail after August 11. Gupta believes this change has witnessed the shift to open e-cigarettes The number of users has surged.
Open e-cigarettes provide customers with a way to customize e-cigarettes to meet their needs. It also means that customers are more able to control the amount of nicotine needed to help quit smoking. New Zealand e-cigarette retailers said: The new regulations may add additional pressure from underage customers to stores and employees, but this will better prevent e-cigarette abuse to some extent. E-cigarettes can effectively help people who are addicted to smoking quit smoking. Experts believe that e-cigarette products are much less harmful than smoking, but they are not completely harmless.
