THE New Zealand Ministry of
Health has opened consultation on
proposals to adjust the legal status
of e-cigarettes.
A consultation document
proposes that all e-cigarettes
(with and without nicotine) are
made available for sale and supply
lawfully in New Zealand, but that
they are subject to some of the
same restrictions as legal, smoked
tobacco products, a proposal which
would require legislative change.
This would restrict the sale of
e-cigarettes to people 18 and over,
the advertising of e-cigarettes, and
prohibit the use of e-cigarettes in
smoke-free places.
The consultation closes 12 Sep.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 04 Aug 16 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 04 Aug 16
