Should pharmacists be able to dispense nicotine vapes without a prescription?

The Australian government is considering new regulations on vaping, addressing illegal sales and access issues. Research supports vaping as a smoking cessation tool, but obtaining nicotine vapes legally can be challenging due to prescription requirements. Options to improve access include allowing pharmacists to dispense nicotine vapes without a prescription. Some advocate for regulating vapes like tobacco, but health organizations have concerns. Pharmacists are capable of managing nicotine vape distribution responsibly, with potential benefits for access and cost.
