Australia is currently at the forefront of the global vaping crackdown, having moved to a strict 'pharmacy-only' model that effectively bans recreational sales. The government argues that bright, fruity vapes are a cynical trap designed by Big Tobacco to hook a new generation of children on nicotine. Opponents, including the Nationals and Libertarian parties, argue that the ban has failed, pointing to a thriving black market, firebombed tobacco shops, and a loss of tax revenue. Supporters believe strict controls are necessary to prevent a public health crisis among youth. Critics argue that legalization and regulation, rather than prohibition, is the only way to ensure product safety and destroy the illicit market.
