Poll: Do you support changes to our smoking laws?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.

Support my Journey

Zoeb from Pukekohe

givealittle.co.nz...

Hi, I’m Zoeb Ali (Zee), a passionate writer who dreams of using words to inspire, educate, and give back. I’ve created three blogs, each representing a vital part of my heart and purpose:

Pen by Zee: My space for sharing mindful writing, poetry, novels, and stories that inspire and connect.

Charity with Zee: A platform for highlighting fundraising campaigns I lead for causes like Auckland City Mission, Kiwi Harvest, and New Zealand Mental Health.

NZ History with Zee: Dedicated to preserving and sharing New Zealand’s rich history to educate and engage readers.

Currently, I run these blogs on free platforms, but they limit my ability to deliver the high-quality, professional experience my readers and the causes I support deserve. I’m starting this fundraiser to raise funds for paid versions of these websites.

Your donation will directly support:

Professional website designs to enhance content delivery.

Expanding reach to engage more readers and supporters.

Amplifying my charity efforts for greater community impact.

With your help, I can unlock the full potential of these blogs to inspire, educate, and make a difference. Every contribution matters, and together, we can bring this vision to life.

Thank you for supporting my journey. 💙

Warm regards,

Zee
