The deadline for information passed on Friday - and officials are now reviewing details. It comes as our newsroom can reveal British American Tobacco is threatening legal action over the review. Cancer Society CEO Lucy Elwood told Roman Travers it supports the products being taken off the shelves. She says New Zealand is creating addicts by selling vapes with high levels of nicotine.
