NRA Committee Support Vape Retailers In Australia
Last year, Australia’s Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt had announced new vaping regulations on the importation of vape liquid containing nicotine. A number of public health experts, tobacco harm reduction advocates, and MPs had spoken up against this measure, resulting in it being put on hold.
And that there is evidence that nicotine vaping products act as a ‘gateway’ to smoking in youth and exposure to nicotine in adolescents may have long-term consequences for brain development. So organizations like Legalise Vaping Australia started storming in.
Meanwhile, the NRA Committee will continue to lobby the government against the illogical policy that allows vapers to freely purchase vaping products online from overseas retailers, but not locally.
There are no TGA-approved nicotine vape Australia products in the Register of Therapeutic Goods, but doctors can prescribe them for dispensing at an Australian pharmacy through the Special Access Scheme for a single patient or by becoming an Authorised Prescriber.
They also recommend that if vaping devices are to be used, unflavoured, vapour liquid, or closed systems should be preferred, as there is limited evidence about the long-term safety of inhaled flavorings.
