Australia's Vape Laws Failing: 10 Million Vapes Sold Illegally Each Month

Australia's Vape Crackdown: A Failure? Australia's recent legislation aimed at curbing the vaping epidemic appears to be failing. A 7NEWS report reveals that only a tiny fraction of the estimated 10 million vapes sold monthly are purchased legally. Despite the Labor party's attempt to regulate sales through chemists, the black market continues to flourish. "Only one in every 1600 purchases without a prescription happens legally at a pharmacy," the report states. This highlights a significant flaw in the current approach. Experts are now calling for a reassessment of the strategy to effectively combat the illegal vape trade and protect public health. The government needs to consider more robust measures to regulate the industry and address the widespread availability of vapes through illegal channels. The current system is clearly inadequate and requires urgent attention.
