"Australian Health Minister Mark Butler has announced a major policy shift on
vaping. Its two primary objectives are to make it harder for children and
non-smokers to access vapes and to allow people trying to quit smoking to
access nicotine vapes with a prescription.

Vapes are unquestionably popular, with many who vape saying they are trying to
quit or to cut down on cigarettes. “Recreational” vapers of any age with no
interest in quitting will find themselves frozen out.

But can vapes actually help significant numbers of people quit smoking? The
evidence suggests it’s unlikely."
