Membership
We invite New Zealand-based vaping manufacturers, importers, retailers and exporters to join VIANZ and support us to be the voice for vaping with policymakers. VIANZ is committed to being free from the influence of Big Tobacco and Big Pharma, so these companies are barred from joining. VIANZ is run by Kiwi vaping companies and advocates who want to see a Smokefree New Zealand. VIANZ members are connected by their desire to bring quality vaping products to New Zealanders and the world.
