The ban on vaping devices by the Australian government includes a range of new restrictions on both Nicotine and non-Nicotine vaping devices. Perhaps the most restrictive aspect of the new regulation is the complete and total ban on the importation of vaping devices to Australia. With the exception of pharmacies, importing vaping devices to Australia is now a crime. Vaping devices in Australia now must also have pharmaceutical-like packaging and must abide by new regulations on the volume and concentration of Nicotine. In recent years, teenage vaping has skyrocketed, with nearly 33% of all teens in Australia alone reporting vaping at one point.
