There are some factors that mitigate our concerns, such as nicotine will not be banned, vaping products will still be legally available, there will be no possession offences. However, our fear is that supply charges could be used against older siblings or whānau members. Possession offences aren't the only charges that cause harm to innocent people and disrupt sovereign Māori communities. The trade of naturally grown products like tobacco should not be criminalised; there is simply no evidence-based rationale for it.
