'Every week a young person needs help quitting': GP supports over-the-counter vapes

A young tradie who can only stop reaching for the vape once they are asleep is among many patients in the ACT who are looking for help.

"They work in the construction industry and they have said to me that while they are awake, they are constantly pulling the vape out of their pocket," the tradie's GP, Dr Kerrie Aust said.
