Australia’s new Vape ban

Australia will become the first country to ban the sale of vapes outside of pharmacies after the Government negotiated a deal with the Greens.

Initially the government wanted all adults to obtain a prescription in order to purchase vapes, but watered the bill down in order to obtain Greens support.

Guest:  Becky Freeman, Associate Professor, School of Public Health, University of Sydney

Presenter: Warren Andrew
