Survey Says: Australian Prohibition Policies are Forcing Vapers Towards the Black Market

Despite modern Australian clowns like Simon Chapman lacking depth, their commitment to the art is evident. However, their disconnect from ordinary people and lack of self-depreciation are notable. Australian health minister, Mark Butler, faced criticism for his vape prohibition legislation, with concerns raised by experts about its impact. The legislation was eventually watered down, making vapes accessible through pharmacies without prescriptions. Critics argue this still creates barriers. The consequences of such policies on adult vapers and smoking rates remain to be seen. Additionally, a study on nicotine pouch use among young Australians has raised concerns, despite questions about its methodology.


12.50% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 2.6 million current smokers in Australia 14.80% of men are current smokers but only 10.30% of women.
