Australia has announced that it will ban recreational vaping in an attempt to crack down on teenagers using e-cigarettes.<br /><br />Government officials want to ban disposable vapes, many of which come in brightly-coloured packaging with fruity flavours popular amongst younger generations.<br /><br />They also want to introduce minimum quality standards for vapes, introduce “pharmaceutical type” packaging, and reduce nicotine concentrations and levels.<br /><br />“Just like they did with smoking, Big Tobacco has taken another addictive product, wrapped it in shiny packaging and added flavours to create a new generation of nicotine addicts,” health minister Mark Butler said.
