Newly Introduced Vaping Regulations: What It Means for You

Modified on Thu, 19 Sep, 2024 at 3:10 PM

The vaping industry in New Zealand is facing significant changes with the introduction of the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Amendment Bill (No. 2). This new bill aims to ban disposable vapes and pre-filled vaping devices, with the goal of reducing single-use vaping products to support environmental and public health initiatives.

What Are Disposable Vaping Products?

To clarify, disposable vaping products are defined as:

Vaping devices ( Closed pod systems, Pre - filled pod devices, Pod cartridges )

Cannot be refilled by the user with an E-liquid.

Containers

Are pre-filled with an E-liquid
Are designed to be used with a vaping device.
Cannot be refilled by the user

These products are convenient but designed for one-time use, contributing to increased waste and environmental impact.

How Will This Affect the Market?

If the bill passes, it could result in the removal of approximately 80% of vaping products currently available, including many of the popular disposable vapes and pre-filled devices.
