Australia Welcomes and Implements New E-Cigarette Reform Regulations

The Australian government welcomes new e-cigarette reform regulations to curb usage, including import bans and improved access for medical use.

According to a report by news-medical, the Australian government has welcomed and pledged to commit to new e-cigarette reform regulations. This move aims to suppress the use of e-cigarettes in Australia.

Starting from January 1, 2024, the government will enforce a ban on the importation of disposable e-cigarettes, while also improving the accessibility of medical e-cigarettes for individuals attempting to quit smoking.

Starting from March 1, 2024, further reform measures are expected to be implemented, including: ceasing the importation of personal e-cigarettes; banning the importation of non-therapeutic use e-cigarettes; requiring importers and manufacturers of therapeutic e-cigarettes to report to the Australian Government's Therapeutic Goods Administration about the conformity of their products to relevant product standards; and mandating importers to obtain permits and authorizations from the Australian Government's Office of Drug Control before importing the products.
