Australia Implements Major Ban on Recreational Vaping to Combat Teen Use and Target Big Tobacco

Australia is set to ban recreational vaping and tighten e-cigarette laws in an effort to curb teenage vaping. The government aims to ban all disposable vapes, limit nicotine levels, and confine the sale of vapes to helping smokers quit. Vapes will only be sold in pharmacies and require "pharmaceutical-type" packaging. The federal budget will include $155 million for measures to protect against the harm caused by tobacco and vaping. Australia has one of the toughest anti-smoking laws in the world.
