“Sales of vaping products to under-18s will be banned, flavours restricted and vapers barred from lighting up in smoke-free areas under a law change set to be introduced to Parliament on Monday. Vaping laws will be bought closer to tobacco laws under the proposed law change, including a prohibition on advertising and sponsorship of vaping products and e-cigarettes. But the Government has ruled out a complete ban because it sees vaping as one way to help smokers quit more harmful cigarettes.”

Vaping crackdown: new law will ban under-18s and advertising
“As the bill is currently written, no vaping products will be able to be sold to people under the age of 18, nor are the products able to be advertised or used in sponsorship. Vaping will also be banned from smokefree areas, so people would only be able to vape where cigarettes are allowed to be smoked. Salesa said the bill will also limit general stores – including dairies and service stations – to selling only three flavours: tobacco, mint and menthol. All other flavours will only be able to be sold at licensed vape stores.”
