While the U.S. languishes on e-cigarette reforms, Australia on Monday introduced some of the world’s most restrictive vaping laws as part of a global effort to combat what the World Health Organization calls an “alarming” rise in youth vaping.
Effective immediately, the reforms prohibit the supply, manufacture, import, or sale of a vape device outside a pharmacy in Australia. The ban applies to all vape devices regardless of whether they contain nicotine.
