Pharmacist fury at deal for vapes to be restricted to pharmacies-only, without adults needing prescription
www.abc.net.au
Vapes will be banned from sale outside pharmacies, but adults will not need a prescription to buy them, as the federal government agrees to water down its proposed ban to win over the Greens.
  • In short: Australia will restrict the sale of vapes to pharmacies from next week, as the Greens agree to pass a proposed ban.
  • The government has agreed however to water down restrictions that would have required adults to obtain a prescription.
  • What’s next? The laws will be debated and put to a vote in parliament later this week.
