NSW e-cigarette bans come into effect

New bans on e-cigarettes will come into force in NSW on Tuesday in a bid to prevent children under the age of 16 from potential harms.

Driving while smoking an e-cigarette in the presence of a child is now illegal throughout NSW.

The new laws come into effect on Tuesday and include bans on smoking while in a car with a child under 16 and displaying and advertising e-cigarettes and accessories in retail stores.

The NSW government banned the sale of these products to minors in early September.
