Legislation to implement such a ban was introduced by the Health Minister, Mark Butler, in March before being referred by the Senate to the community affairs legislation committee for inquiry the same month.
The Australian Senate committee recommended such a ban after evidence from public hearings and almost 300 submissions from the health, education, pharmaceutical and other sectors
If passed by the Senate, the legislation will mean the only way vapes can legally be obtained is through a prescription from a GP or nurse practitioner. A vote is expected in June.
