Australia’s change of federal government unlikely to bring any relaxation on vaping

A new centre-left Labor government in Australia will not bring about any change in vaping regulations as it looks to liberalise various policies brought in by the former Liberal-National coalition government

However, there may be scope for individual Australian states to take action on their own, bringing about an eventual federal change, as has been seen in other policy areas in the past.

Australia currently has among the world’s most restrictive laws on nicotine vaping.
