Senator calls for different approach to vaping laws

Tasmanian Senator Tammy Tyrrell expresses worry over Tasmania's strict vaping laws, labeling the state as a 'nanny state.' The laws require individuals to be 18 years old and possess a prescription to buy nicotine vapes from places like pharmacies, exceeding federal regulations. Tyrrell supports restrictions for minors but cautions that overly limiting access for adults may lead to a black market. She advocates for adults to have autonomy in decision-making similar to alcohol consumption, believing in the value of personal choices and learning experiences in life.
