    Vaping is still available in Australia as an aid to quit smoking. It just requires a prescription.

      Which decreases availability and increases price, both of which makes it unnecessarily difficult for people who just want to not die from smoking-related diseases.

      Almost all other smoking cessation methods, which are generally much less effective, contain nicotine and are freely available without a prescription. Those aren’t legal for kids either, which is properly enforced.

      To limit vape availability in this way is medically arbitrary symbolic politics and will cost many needless deaths.
