According to a report from MSN on May 8th, the Australian Convenience Store Association stated that the majority of Australians believe the ban on e-cigarettes has not been effectively enforced.
Data released by the organization shows that 75% of people believe the ban has not prevented children from accessing e-cigarettes, with the black market importing around $1 billion Australian dollars (USD 6.5 billion) worth of illegal e-cigarettes into Australia each year. Additionally, 80% of people believe e-cigarettes should be taxed and regulated similar to tobacco products.
In early March, the Australian government has implemented a complete ban on the importation of all reusable e-cigarettes, regardless of whether they contain nicotine. The ban does not apply to therapeutic e-cigarettes supplied by pharmacies.
