VAADA is pleased to release its submission to the Inquiry into Vaping and Tobacco Controls by the Victorian Public Accounts and Estimates Committee. The submission makes a case for an evidence-based approach to e-cigarettes. Balancing prevention with harm reduction, VAADA advocates for a well-regulated market for e-cigarettes as a consumer product.
Developed and implemented effectively, and supported by robust enforcement, this would protect young people and never-smokers, reduce the number of illegal, unregulated and environmentally hazardous disposable devices, while supporting e-cigarette access for smoking cessation and harm reduction.
