One in five young people have tried vaping, and experts are concerned that use of e-cigarettes will only increase without intervention.

To address this, the Federal Government is funding the rapid expansion of a program that targets students in year 7 and 8, with the aim of empowering them to resist the urge to vape.

This is alongside moves to restrict the sale of vapes to pharmacies only, with flavours restricted to tobacco, mint and methanol. Will this be enough to stop another generation getting hooked on nicotine?
