Luke Walles says sometimes he feels better smoking a cigarette than vaping. For health experts, that's a problem.
When the cost of living started to bite, Karen turned to vapes for what she saw as a cheaper alternative to smoking.
New laws introduced by the federal government on Monday will ban the sale of vapes containing nicotine outside of a pharmacy from July 1. "With the change in legislation, that uncertainty may be making them think, 'Well, I won't be able to get it, maybe I'll move back to smoking or maybe I'll start smoking'," she said.
"What happens when they're going through the withdrawal process? What support is available to help them essentially liberate themselves from nicotine addiction?" he asked."Dual use of tobacco and vapes has been a problem for some time," the statement said. "We've got so much evidence that tobacco products have killed the vast majority of its users, and there are so many health impacts.
"Two out of three people die of smoking-related illness if they continue to smoke long-term," she said.
