In Australia, e-cigarettes that contain nicotine are listed as a ‘prescription-only medicine', making it illegal to buy and sell without a doctor's note
Initially marketed as the miracle solution to quit smoking, statistics show one in five young people aged between 18 and 24 have tried vaping, and a about a quarter of those continued using it.
A Cancer Council survey found that over 80 per cent of adults believe e-cigarettes are highly addictive and should be carefully regulated to stop a new generation of addicts.
The vast majority also want a crackdown on marketing vapes on social and digital media, as well as in shops.
