‘I am worried’: Vapes are ‘so deliberately targeted’ towards young people

Vapes are a product “so deliberately targeted” at young people, says Health and Aged Care Minister Mark Butler. His remarks come as nine out of ten stores are located within “walking distance of our schools”. “I am worried there is a generation on vapes,” Mr Butler told Sky News Australia. “But what I’m not willing to do is raise the white flag and say there’s nothing we can do about it, we’re just the government. “What we’re hearing from parents and school communities is that urgent need for action here. “They are reporting this as the number one behavioural issue in our schools.”
