What signs must I post if I want to sell tobacco or vapour products?

Under the new legislation, anyone selling tobacco or vapour products must post two mandated warning signs at your cash till or point of sale. You must use only the signs provided by the Ministry of Health. Please contact your local health authority to receive your copies of the new signs.

My store sells both tobacco and vapour products.

1. One sign faces the customers and informs them they must be at least 19 years of age to buy vapour products.
2. A second sign faces the retailer/employee of retailer and reminds them that only those 19 or older with approved identification can buy vapour products.

NOTE: Tobacco retailers are no longer required to post the 17cm by 35cm graphic warning sign. These signs may have had a picture of a fish-hook or a small girl with an oxygen mask on. These signs can be removed.
