Australian Health Minister Mark Butler said on Tuesday the government will crack down on the black market vaping industry, revealing that the federal government will strengthen the regulatory framework surrounding vaping.

According to Xinhua, it is illegal under Australian law to use, sell or buy nicotine vaping products without a doctor's prescription.

Despite current restrictions, about 1.1 million people in the country still use vaping products, The Australian reported.

The minister told News Corp Australia: The proportion of young Australians aged 18-24 reporting vaping has almost doubled, from 2.8 per cent in 2016 to 5.3 per cent in 2019.

"Our government is concerned about the increased marketing and use of e-cigarettes, especially among young people," Butler said.

State and territory health ministers have called on the federal government to help crack down on vaping.

At the same time, the tobacco industry has called for legalization and taxation of e-cigarettes, rather than stricter bans.
