Australia has enacted stricter vaping laws in 2024, marking a significant shift in public health policy. The new regulations aim to limit access to vaping products, especially for young people, while providing effective support for those seeking to quit smoking. Telehealth has emerged as a key resource in this initiative. Key Changes: Ban on Disposable Vapes: All disposable vapes have been prohibited since January 2024. Nicotine Vapes in Pharmacies: Starting October 2024, adults (18+) can purchase nicotine vapes directly from pharmacies without a prescription. However, under-18s may still need a prescription depending on local state or territory regulations. Telehealth Consultations: Smokers can now use telehealth services to connect with healthcare professionals for customized quit plans and guidance on using nicotine vapes, if appropriate. Vapes as Therapeutic Goods: Nicotine vapes are now classified as therapeutic goods, subject to stricter controls and available exclusively through pharmacies. Restricted Advertising: Advertising for vapes is now heavily restricted to minimize their appeal to younger audiences. Focus on Public Health: These regulations emphasize public health by curbing access to potentially harmful vapes, particularly for non-smoking youth. Telehealth provides valuable support for individuals aiming to quit smoking, complementing these new measures
