Vape juice maker Bodie Newman welcomes the MOH's New-Zealand specific "Vaping Facts" website.
A Northland dairy farmer who makes vape juice in his sleep-out has welcomed a Ministry of Health initiative ahead of proposed legislation regarding e-cigarette products.
Bodie Newman said the Ministry's New Zealand-specific "Vaping Facts" website will help stub out fears around the alternative to smoking tobacco.
The liquid products are
seen as a help in New Zealand becoming smokefree by 2025 but Newman, who cooks up his Branded Vapes in the sleepout at his Purua home, said there is still a lot of misinformation about the liquid replacement.
''One of my main concerns before starting this was the lack of transparency with how e-liquids were produced and what exactly went into them in New Zealand as it is still such a new industry.
''A lot of the cheaper fluids use standard food flavourings, some of these contain Diacetyl which is a form of alcohol linked with a condition called popcorn lung.''
