Govt announces vaping crackdown, banning disposables

From Checkpoint, 4:37 pm on 20 March 2024

The Government has announced a crack down on vaping, banning disposable devices, and increasing fines for retailers by $90,000.

Specialist vape retailers will also face tighter restrictions on storefront displays and requirements for staffing.

Reusable vapes will remain available, but Associate Health Minister Casey Costello said the cheap disposable devices are too easy for teenagers to get their hands on.
