Australia Goes Further in Curbing Vaping
Australian federal health minister Mark Butler is working with state counterparts to implement new measures to curb an increase in vaping, reports Surf Coast Times.
Last week, on the 10th anniversary of plain packaging laws for tobacco implemented by the Gillard government, Mr. Butler announced the start of a public consultation process about nicotine vaping products from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).

The TGA is seeking public comment on four main areas: border control; pre-market TGA assessment; broadening the definition of nicotine vaping so that all products are regulated, and working towards plain packaging similar to tobacco.
