Health NZ have been in contact with the school asking us for help in raising awareness of the ways people can work together in the community to  make a complaint about smoking or vaping retailers. 


Resources are available to raise awareness about how anyone can make a complaint about a tobacco or vape retailer or submit enquiries about the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990. 

These resources tell the public to contact Health NZ if they:

• notice retailers selling vapes or tobacco to people under 18 years of age 
• notice retailers displaying tobacco products 
• notice smoking or vaping in workplaces, restaurants, pubs or other licensed premises 
• have a concern about general vape retailers such as dairies, supermarkets and service stations 
• have concerns about specialist vape retailers. These sell mostly vape products and can sell flavoured vapes.
