Australian medical e-cigarette regulations

Time： 2023-12-08

The Australian Medical Association steps up efforts to combat non-therapeutic vaping and welcomes the passage of new tobacco and e-cigarette control laws.

According to a recent report by Australian media Miragenews, the Australian Medical Association (AMA) has been advocating for increased efforts to combat non-therapeutic e-cigarettes for many years. The AMA said it welcomed the passage of legislation aimed at strengthening tobacco and e-cigarette regulation.

The Public Health (Tobacco and Other Products) Bill 2023 brings together eight different tobacco laws, regulations and voluntary agreements to streamline enforcement.

New measures have also been introduced to help Australia achieve greater success in the fight against tobacco and nicotine addiction. The laws also apply to e-cigarettes, which are becoming the gateway to smoking for many young Australians. New reporting and information requirements are also being incorporated to impact the tobacco industry to provide urgent transparency and influence policy.

The AMA worked with the Australian Government, opposition and cross-party groups to ensure the bill was not weakened after four amendments and made it clear to all involved that implementation of the bill should not be delayed.

Earlier this month, AMA NSW president Dr Michael Bonning attended a Senate inquiry in support of the legislation, telling the inquiry that "while Australia has experienced significant growth in tobacco use over the past few decades, Great progress has been made in control, but tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable death and disability."

The AMA concluded by stating that the AMA will continue to work with the Minister on broader e-cigarette reform. It is reported that this reform will ban the import of disposable e-cigarettes starting from January 1, 2024.
