Huh interesting. What caused that? I can see the concerns about teens vaping but an outright ban seems pretty authoritarian. Admittedly I don't know much about Australia so maybe they're more authoritarian than the stereotypes might imply.
- Gigachad 3y agoThe Australian government has been phasing out smoking entirely for a while now. Vapes came in and undid most of that effort as well as getting a new generation of kids on it. So now they are regulated to only be allowed as an aide to get off cigarettes.
- nikau 3y agoMostly due to imports of disposable "nicotine free" vapes that of course contained nicotine. Banning them outright makes customs easy as otherwise you would have to test every import for nicotine levels. There's zero benefit to society to import any disposable vape variant, so the ban is pretty well received.
