Over half of the submissions &#8211; 1,375 &#8211; came from \u2018general retailers\u2019, leading a key tobacco harm reduction advocate to conclude the Government\u2019s plan to remove all but three vape flavours from general retail has clearly prompted Kiwi businesses into action. \u201cPetitions and submissions are great democratic tools, but the problem is this Ministry of Health made up its mind months ago, despite insisting in this process that \u2018every voice counts\u2019. In fact, before even reading these submissions the Ministry recommended that the flavour restrictions \u2018should come into force as intended on 11 August 2021\u2019. We now need pro-public health politicians to intervene,\u201d Nancy Loucas, co-director of Aotearoa Vapers Community Advocacy (AVCA) says.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ARTICLE LINK:\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scoop.co.nz\/stories\/BU2103\/S00520\/submissions-reveal-concern-about-loss-of-vape-flavours.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Submissions Reveal Concern About Loss Of Vape Flavours<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Reddit\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"VAPING%20NEWS%3A%20NEW%20ZEALAND%20%5BFlavour%20Ban%5D\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Vaping Regulatory Authority has confirmed it received a total of 2,518 submissions on the Ministry of Health\u2019s draft vaping regulations which closed on 15&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[147],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-vaping-news","wpcat-147-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24652"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24653,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24652\/revisions\/24653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tasteyourjuice.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
