Australia: Starting today, over-18s
will not require a prescription for vaping products with a concentration of less than 20 mg/ml. Sale of these products will still be limited to pharmacies, and only one month’s supply can be purchased over the course of one month. Vaping products with a higher nicotine concentration will remain subject to prescription. The state of Tasmania, however, aims to maintain the prescription requirement, as
announced by the state’s director of public health Mark Veitch. Tasmania is currently in the process of adopting a
bill that, if passed, will restrict vaping product sales to over-18s with a prescription.
