    Australia will ban imports of disposable vapes in January, the Health Minister said on Tuesday, the first step in a crackdown aimed at curbing the growing popularity of these nicotine-filled devices with young people.

    I don’t really understand why young people using tobacco is fine, but vaping is not.

      I think it’s specifically the disposable ones, because they contain a lithium battery/capacitor in them

      from what i understand, vaping is much easier to get into due to the taste/smell. so neither is good for anyone, but cigarettes are seen as gross and the companies that make vaping products have tricked teens into thinking that they’re safe.
