New laws target smoking and vaping

Published
The Federal Health Minister has introduced tough new laws targeting the tobacco and vaping industry. While the government has already moved to ban recreational vaping, it will also legislate to restrict advertising. In 2012, Australia lead the world with plain cigarette packaging. Now the new bill will include warnings on individual cigarettes and bans on additives.
