Many high schools report that vaping is a growing issue despite the 18+ legal smoking age and this has been associated with the proximity of schools to vaping retailers.

Recent amendments have been made to The Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Amendment Act to limit nicotine in products and cease supply to those born in/after 2009. Less retailers are to be approved and product packaging made less appealing.

Until March 15, public submissions will accepted regarding these changes, especially around the location and quantity of retail stores as well as the appeal and addictiveness of smoked tobacco products.

Beautiful hand-embroidered floral framed work, exquisite workmanship. Looks like wool on a linen cloth ground.
In solid vintage oak frame which is showing its age, a little wear & tear; and behind glass.
I suspect this was once a fire-screen (see photos of the reverse) which has been adapted to hang on the wall; its quite heavy but solid and ready to hang up.
55h x 65w cm. Weighs about 6kg.
Reluctantly selling as its been in storage for years, no longer fits my house.
Pick-up only with cash please, Verrans end of Birkdale.
