The Government has chosen to limit the amount of flavours available through General Retailers to reduce the appeal of vaping to non-smokers/vapers. Overseas examples have shown that this restrictive approach leads to an increase in smoking rates and a reduction in smoking cessation.

All our flavours are still available online and in Specialist Vape Retailers. We will continue to work with the Government to allow access to a range of flavours at General Retailers to help New Zealanders quit smoking!

You will still be able to buy ALL flavours of vaping products at Specialist Vape Retailers.

General Retailers:

A General Retailer is any store that does not sell 70% or more vaping products. This includes Gas Stations, Supermarkets & Convenience Stores.These stores will only be permitted to sell Menthol, Mint or Tobacco flavoured vaping products.

Specialist Vape Retailers:

A Specialist Vape Retailer is any store that makes 70% or more of their income from vaping products. VAPO & www.getalt.co.nz for example, have only ever sold 100% vaping products. These stores are permitted to sell all flavours of vaping products including Menthol, Mint & Tobacco.
