Harsher penalties and restrictions are coming into force as the Government starts its crackdown on vaping.
The Coalition will ban single use vapes and increase fines for selling vapes to under-18s from $10,000 to $100,000.
It's aiming to have all changes in place by the end of the year.
Asthma and Respiratory Foundation CEO Letitia Harding told Mike Hosking that this should’ve been tackled by the previous government.
The reality is, she said, there are no FDA approved products for smoking cessation, and if it actually is for that purpose then it should be under some sort of medical regulatory control.
Harding said that when vaping was introduced in 2017, people were pushing it as the ‘Holy Grail’ to smoking cessation, but the evidence was never out there that it was.
