Strictly 18+
Vaping products in Australia are for adults aged 18 and over. Regional retailers should use clear age gates and checkout checks so products are not sold to minors.
For existing smokers and vapers
Vaping products are intended to be used only by adults who already smoke or vape. They are not suitable for non-smokers, young people, or anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding.
Use and store responsibly
Keep devices away from children and pets, store them out of direct heat, and dispose of used devices responsibly at an e-waste or battery recycling point rather than in general rubbish.
Rules can change
Because regulations are updated periodically and differ across jurisdictions, adult consumers should stay informed about the current requirements in their own state or territory.
