New data from the Cancer Council shows increased concern about vaping, as regulations about who can buy the products fall short.
In Australia, e-cigarettes that contain nicotine are listed as a 'prescription-only medicine', making it illegal to buy and sell without a doctor's note.
Initially marketed as a miracle solution to quit smoking, statistics show one in five young people aged between 18 and 24 have tried vaping, and a quarter of those continued using it.
More Australians are calling for a crackdown on the sale of e-cigarettes to prevent the next generation from becoming addicted to nicotine.
