Calls for Tobacco Law Reform Amid E-cigarette Concerns in Australia.

As concerns over electronic cigarettes continue to escalate, relevant departments in Australia are once again urging for tobacco legislation reform.

The Public Health Association has announced that it is necessary to crack down on electronic cigarettes and is currently researching various tobacco regulation methods.

Earlier this year, a minor tried a classmate's e-cigarette at school and subsequently fell ill. It has been reported that the e-cigarette belonged to the child's parents.

Dr. Michelle Jongenelis of the Public Health Association has stated that e-cigarettes are a pressing issue that needs to be addressed. She explained that they have not been proven to be safe or effective, and there is an increasing trend of young people using them. It is illegal for individuals above the age of 18 to purchase or use nicotine e-cigarettes unless they have a prescription from a doctor.
