How to fix it

Expect an 18+ restriction; remove promotional framing if you want full reach.

Good to know

Look for cannabis dispensary tours or promotion (store names, menus, deals) and reviews of named e-liquid brands. Does NOT count here (other rules cover them): incidental smoking, general drug education, or selling with links or contact details (that is “Selling or linking to drugs, alcohol or other regulated goods”).
