New Smoking and E-Cigarette Bans Implemented in Queensland
According to a report by 9news on September 1, the latest policies on smoke-free and e-cigarette-free zones have officially come into effect in Queensland, Australia. The expanded smoking ban areas now include outdoor markets, dining establishments, school parking lots, and areas near any entertainment activities involving individuals under the age of 18.
The Queensland Health Department posted on Facebook stating, "Despite having the strictest tobacco laws in the world, smoking still remains a significant factor contributing to death and illness.
It is illegal to vape non-prescription e-cigarettes in Queensland. The smoke-free zones were established after the federal government cracked down on e-cigarettes in May, proposing a complete ban on the importation of non-prescription e-cigarettes. From July 1, 2024, this smoke-free restriction will be expanded to include bars and clubs.
