Australia to Ban Import of Disposable E-Cigarettes from January 2024

The ban, part of a broader crackdown on vaping, will be expanded in March to include all non-therapeutic vapes, with additional legislation in 2024 to ban domestic manufacture, advertising, or supply of disposable vapes.

Australia will ban the import of disposable e-cigarettes from January 1, 2024, in an effort to curb nicotine addiction among young people.
The ban will be expanded in March to include all non-therapeutic vapes, including refillable devices.
Additional legislation will be introduced in 2024 to ban the manufacture, advertising, or supply of disposable vapes in Australia.
Despite the ban, doctors and nurses will be given expanded powers in January to prescribe therapeutic vapes where clinically appropriate.
Research shows that young Australians who vape are about three times more likely to take up tobacco smoking.
