Vaping nicotine in Australia is set to end as the government moves to ban the importation of most e-cigarettes into the country. From July 1, it will be illegal to import e-cigarettes and refills containing nicotine liquids or salts. E-cigarette users and retailers had turned to buying the products from overseas after their sale in Australia was previously banned. Vaporisers and refills containing nicotine would have to be imported by doctors or medical suppliers via a courier or cargo service with express permission from the Department of Health. The ban on importing nicotine e-cigarettes and refills would be in line with existing bans on their sale in each state and territory.
