Amend Tobacco and Vapes Bill to restrict vapes like cigarettes, and limit access

Open for signatures 75 signatures

What the petition asks

We call on Parliament to amend the Tobacco and Vapes Bill to restrict access to vapes using a similar generational ban as it has for cigarettes, and restrict it for other people by making it available via prescription only and restricting available flavours.
We have witnessed how bad vaping can be, especially among teenagers and those in schools, but in fact vaping has INCREASED in prevalence. We must follow Australia's lead and restrict vapes to pharmacy and doctor prescriptions ONLY as a smoking cessation support, as well as restricting flavours
