Government's ‘prohibition model hasn't worked' for vaping crackdown

There is a major push from the government to crackdown on vaping, particularly around younger children. Nationals Leader David Littleproud has acknowledged that “everyone has come to this with the right intent” but has called for “better regulation” of vapes. Mr Littleproud believes the government “haven’t made inroads into this and particularly for the protection of children”. “The prescription model, which is a prohibition model hasn’t worked,” he added in an interview with Sky News Australia. The Nationals Leader urged the government to look at “what has worked” citing the “licensed point of sale” regulation for cigarettes which had an 80 per cent reduction in juvenile use of cigarettes.
