Grassroots activism can drive governments to take action. The recent decision to ban disposable vapes in the UK hinged on creative collaboration between communities, councils and decision-makers.
Vapes will be harder to access from today, but the restrictions are staged, with some due to roll out later in the year. Here’s what’s changing.
With 5 million vapers in the UK and rising fast, nearly 500 of these devices are being thrown away every minute.
It’s not just the ingredients we should be concerned about. The devices themselves release chemicals that end up in our blood and urine.
Many people who vape saying they are trying to quit or to cut down on cigarettes.
In this podcast, @michellegrattan and @amandadunn10 discuss another interest rate rise form the RBA, Labor's war on vaping and an increase to the tobacco tax, and the likely boost to JobSeeker for people aged 55 and over.
Most of our respondents said the main factor driving their vaping was flavouring and taste.
The industry and its allies have been so effective at publicising this unscientific guesstimate, it continues to be used to undermine Australia’s public health policy.

E-cigarettes are facing calls for complete bans on their sale. A tobacco addiction researcher explores the balance between vaping’s harm to teens and potential use as a tool for quitting smoking.
If the crisis worsens, more people will ask, how did this happen? The answer will be simple: governments made good laws, but they did not enforce them.
E-cigarettes may help smokers quit but research is still limited.
The e-cigarette industry emerged as an alternative to traditional tobacco, but now it’s dominated by Big Tobacco. That’s why transnational regulations are needed for the industry.
