Bayside Council Urges Stronger Regulations on E-cigarette Sales
According to a news release on September 6th from the official website of Bayside City Council in Australia, the council has called on the government of Victoria to introduce stronger regulations to curb the sale of e-cigarettes.
The city council acknowledges that the potential health impacts of e-cigarettes are widely recognized, as the liquids in these products contain over 200 chemicals, some of which are carcinogenic. It is illegal for stores to sell nicotine-containing e-cigarettes without a prescription from a doctor.
Bayside Mayor Cr Hanna El Mouallem has expressed her concerns about this issue in a letter addressed to Mary Anne Thomas, the Minister for Health and Ambulance Services in the state of Victoria.
According to the Tobacco Act of 1987, the committee is obligated to ensure that operators comply with relevant requirements, including displaying products, enforcing signage, and not selling products to minors. The city council will continue to monitor places where e-cigarettes are sold to ensure compliance with the 1987 Tobacco Act.
