I watched a report on TV ONE news about vaping and it's detrimental effect on the health of young people.
Young people are becoming addicted to the tobacco products in the vapes and the regulations governing the sale of tobacco product to minors is being disregarded by retailers.
Government regulations are also failing as the control measures aren't effective.
Just six vape stores have been issued with infringement notices since under-18 sales were banned nearly two years ago, but a Fair Go hidden camera investigation found three in one city in an afternoon.

When caught out by the television investigation Te Whatu Ora -Health NZ which had previously blamed COVID said:
“Our public health services will now be able to focus more on our important compliance and enforcement activity, including sales of vaping products,”Yeah right. I'll believe that when I see it.
