Australia Introduces Tough Anti-Vaping Laws

Australia has recently introduced some of the world's strictest anti-vaping laws, making it harder for individuals to purchase vapes. The new regulations restrict the sale of vapes with nicotine to pharmacies, requiring users to present a doctor's prescription to a pharmacist for purchase. Additionally, the choice of flavors is limited to mint, menthol, and tobacco.

The move aims to curb the appeal of vapes to minors by eliminating colorful branding and fun flavors that authorities believe were designed to attract children to nicotine use.
