Australia to Implement Reforms on E-Cigarette Regulations

Apr.29.2023

Australia to reform e-cigarette regulations with plain packaging and flavor bans before federal budget announcement.

According to a report from The Guardian, Australia's Health Minister Mark Butler will announce regulatory reforms for electronic cigarettes, including the introduction of plain packaging and the ban of certain flavors, before the federal budget on May 9th.

Butler said that the government plans to further promote non-medicated electronic cigarettes, with a focus on importing them from overseas.

Barrett stated that electronic cigarettes are imported in small boxes, making it difficult to intercept them at the border. Additionally, states and territories are reluctant to shift resources towards regulating the black market. Therefore, action must be taken at the border and states must take practical steps to regulate the import of electronic cigarettes.
