Poor show

Recently we saw on the TV news an emotional school principal claiming that “we are killing our babies” by allowing them to vape. I am upset each time I see a prominent red and white roadside sign saying, Dairy, Vape Shop, in Warkworth.

Is this sign outside the dairy on Glenmore Drive? No, it is down the road and around the corner on Woodcocks Road, opposite Mahurangi College’s sports field, advertising their wares to our young and vulnerable.
