Vaping – Harm Reduction Summer Series Part 3

Alcohol & Drug Harm Reduction

QUIT Victoria Director Rachel Anderson shares with us about vaping and new reforms reducing harm in our communities.

Changes to vaping importation and access were brought in on 1 January, and further changes to come into effect from March 1.

We discuss tools and tips for LGBTIQA+ communities looking at vaping and smoking cessation, and dispel some vaping myths.
