Australian Government Implements Strict Regulations on E-Cigarettes

Australia will ban disposable e-cigarette imports from January 1, 2024, and improve access to medical e-cigarettes to help smokers quit. Starting March 1, 2024, the government will implement additional legislation, including the cessation of personal e-cigarette imports, prohibition of non-therapeutic imports, and reporting requirements for therapeutic e-cigarette importers and manufacturers. They will also need to obtain licenses from the Australian government's Office of Drug Control and import permits.
