406 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Associate Minister of Health: What action, if any, has she taken to deter young people from vaping and other nicotine products?

Hon Casey Costello: The Coalition Government plans to increase penalties for illegal sales to those under 18 and to ban disposable vape products. I have sought advice on this and the other practical actions to deter young people from smoking and vaping.
