Fewer school-age children vaping in Australia since ban, study says
Published: 7/16/2025

A recent study suggests a decrease in vaping among school-age children in Australia following a government ban on disposable vapes. Vaping rates among 14 to 17 year olds dropped from 17.5% to 14.6% after the ban took effect. Health Minister Mark Butler attributes the decline to education and prevention campaigns, along with stricter regulations on vaping products in Australia.
