Case For Trade-proofing Australia's New Vape Laws

Australia's tough anti-vaping laws face international challenges, per a UTS-Monash University paper. Health risks from vaping, especially among youth, prompt restrictions. With a history of industry litigations, policy decisions must align with global trade rules. Proving public health benefits is crucial to weather potential legal challenges. Transparency and ongoing justification are key. Australia must defend its laws before the WTO and set a precedent like the tobacco plain packaging. Researchers advocate for evidence-based justifications to uphold regulations. Success in reducing vaping harms could pave the way for global policy standards and protect public health internationally.
