New Vaping Laws Australia

New vaping laws coming into effect on October aim to regulate the supply and manufacture of vapes. Disposable vapes, including those with nicotine, will be banned in Australia from January 2024. Importing all vaping products will require a license, with strict penalties for offenses. Vaping is not illegal but restricted in smoke-free areas. The enforcement of these laws has faced criticism, with limited successful prosecutions for illegal vape sales in NSW. Non-pharmacy retailers will be prohibited from selling vapes under the new legislation. Therapeutic vapes will be available in pharmacies without a prescription from July 2024. Penalties for importing vapes illegally can reach up to $275,000.
