There are calls for state governments to crack down on black market vaping after 4 Corners exposed a thriving business on social media.

Australian Tobacco Harm Reduction Association founding chairman Dr Colin Mendelsohn told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings you needed a prescription for vaping but there was a huge trade happening on the black market.

“Dodgy products are being imported illegally into Australia … and being sold freely to kids, and there’s no quality control or concerns for the needs of the kids.

“And the reason for that is the way we’ve regulated vaping, we do it differently to every other western country.”
