Will Australia's tightened prescription system reduce nicotine vaping among young people?

Australia's tightened prescription policy for e-cigarettes may reduce adolescent vaping but at the risk of reducing smokers' access to e-cigarettes and increasing the size of the illicit market for combustible cigarettes and e-cigarettes. A more effective policy would allow vapes to be sold as consumer products by licensed tobacconists under regulations that require prior product approval, plain packaging, bans on their promotion and enforced age restrictions on purchases.
