A vote on an alternative proposal that would limit e-cigarette sales to pharmacies is expected to take place today (26th June), after Australian officials earlier walked back proposals to move vaping to a more restrictive prescription-only model.
Experts are unsure how the vote will progress after a compromise proposal was made between the minority Labour government and the Australian Greens party to move vaping products to Schedule 3 (only permitted to be sold in pharmacies) and limit them to three flavours – tobacco, mint and menthol – rather than Schedule 4 (only permitted to be sold in pharmacies with a valid medical prescription).
