According to Mirage News on September 18, the Liberal government of Tasmania, Australia has submitted the Public Health Amendment (E-cigarette) Bill 2024, which includes measures to combat the use of e-cigarettes.
Guy Barnett, Minister for Health, Mental Health and Wellbeing in Tasmania, stated that this government measure will protect the community from the harms of e-cigarettes.
According to our 2030 Future Plan for Tasmania, we aim for Tasmania to become the healthiest and happiest place, and these strong reforms to combat e-cigarettes are an important step towards achieving this goal.
The federal government clearly has not done enough - they have let down our children and young people, effectively turning pharmacies into e-cigarette shops, and lacking clinical supervision.
We do not agree with the federal government's legislation, Tasmania's bill will take strong measures to address this issue.
Barnett said he looks forward to the bill passing smoothly through parliament.
Due to the parliamentary meeting schedule, the Chief Public Health Officer will issue interim instructions to ensure that these changes can take effect from October 1, giving parliament enough time to debate these changes.
