The Australian government is implementing strict regulations on vapes to address the increasing addiction among young people. Vapes will only be legal with a prescription, sold exclusively in pharmacies, and packaged like pharmaceutical products. Flavors and colors appealing to kids will be banned, and vapes disguised as other objects will no longer be permitted. The government is also prohibiting new vapes from entering the country, banning single-use vapes, and providing support programs for quitting. The aim is to put an end to this issue.
