New Zealand and Australia are taking significant steps to combat the sale and use of disposable e-cigarettes, also known as vapes. New Zealand announced it would ban disposable e-cigarettes and raise financial penalties for those selling such products to minors. Concurrently, Australia is poised to implement some of the world's toughest laws on vapes, including banning the sale, importation, and manufacture of e-cigarettes. This move aims to prevent big tobacco companies from recruiting a new generation to nicotine addiction. The Australian government has introduced new legislation to parliament, which could see suppliers facing jail time and substantial fines.
