More consequences are on the way for retailers selling illegal vaping products. 

The Government is cracking down on vaping, banning single use vapes and increasing the fines by the end of the year. 

The penalty will increase from $10,000 to $100,000. 

Auckland University vaping researcher Dr Kelly Burrowes told Mike Hosking that enforcing fines will be the biggest challenge. 

She says it sounds like 15 staff are allocated to regulating the new rules but hopefully the increased fear will have some impact.
