Dairies and vape shops should not be selling nangs - Retail NZ
from Checkpoint
Corner dairies and convenience stores should not be selling nangs or nitrous oxide at all according to Retail NZ. It is illegal to sell the gas for huffing, but a Checkpoint investigation found corner stores and vape shops are selling large cannisters of the gas that contain hundreds of hits, with virtually no questions asked. The police are now cracking down on outlets reminding them of the rules, before escalating to enforcement. Retail New Zealand chief executive Carolyn Young spoke to Lisa Owen.
