Vaping products are designed to get new generations of young people addicted to nicotine, and it is rapidly doing so (AIHW Household Drug Use Survey, February 2024). Many vapers go on to take up smoking. National reforms are underway to aggressively counter the nicotine industry, and so far Tasmania’s Government has played its part in an integrated national policy and supply reduction response. We call for ironclad commitments not to weaken vaping control in the face of industry lobbying and disinformation. We also call for local information campaigns to reach young people to explain the dangers of vaping, and empower them to resist addiction.
