The Notice, issued by the Parliamentary Secretary under s.114(1)(a) of Schedule 2 to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, permanently bans imitation “puff” cigarettes that contain a fine powder and allow users to create a dust cloud. It affects manufacturers, importers, wholesalers, retailers and consumers by removing these products from lawful supply and exposing non‑compliant stock to compulsory recall, shifting compliance costs and creating some enforcement/interpretation uncertainty.
