The Government says it's trying to strike the right balance between helping smokers quit and stopping youth vaping.
Single-use vapes will be banned by the end of the year, and fines for selling vapes to under-18s will rise massively.
The Associate Health Minister has been asked whether the Coalition will enforce minimum prices to put people off buying vapes.
Casey Costello says she's not a fan of that- and she says vapes are still a great smoking cessation tool.
"The alternate risk is that we get the prices back up- and they're equitable to smoking, so we end up with people taking up smoking."
